Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris proposed Tuesday spending a staggering $315 billion over 10 years to boost teacher pay, a move that would have an immediate pocketbook impact on a large and influential group of voters who are in high demand.
Harris proposes paying for the plan by strengthening the estate tax and cracking down on loopholes that let the very wealthiest, with estates worth multiple millions or billions of dollars, avoid paying their “fair share,” according to her campaign., is her response to what she says is a teacher pay “crisis” that has triggered a wave of strikes beginning in West Virginia last year and now roiling her home state of California.
