Double-dippers save money

I read in your paper that the Legislature is considering asking "double-dipper" teachers to either put on hold their retirement funds or teach without pay. I retired after 35 years service, paying into the state system and saving in a 401(k) to make that possible. A year after retirement, a school called requesting I come back because it had difficulty finding someone qualified to teach its concurrent enrollment program. I accepted, at a reduced salary. Now I may be asked to put my retirement on hold or teach without pay.

Let me see, the Legislature thinks that it can save money by hiring a different teacher to teach in my place. Hmmm. I wonder if he or she will teach without pay?
