A state senate candidate who just picked up the endorsement of both main statewide teachers unions is vowing to fight to preserve the pensions for current and retired teachers.
Democrat Andy Manar says teachers have sacrificed enough and should get the pensions they were promised, a view that he says also extends to state workers.
Manar says he also wants to end the disparity in funding between the state’s wealthiest and poorest school districts, but says there will have to be a lot of discussion to figure out the best way to make that happen.
