This I thought was an interesting article. I'm not sure of the exact year. Even back in the day the Pay for Educators sucked!  Also, interesting that they name my great-grandfather as the State Education Commissioner. Who knew right.

   Edgar said he had received word from Arnold R. Weber, director of the U.S. Cost of Living Council, that Texas must follow a CLC ruling issued Sept. 3.
