Robert Foster: Make pay raise for teachers a priority in Jackson

State Rep. Robert Foster and former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr. faced off in the event hosted by the Mississippi State University's College Republicans.

Foster and Waller said the Legislature's recent $1,500 pay raise for teachers was insufficient. Teachers should get a raise every year until their salaries match the southeast average, they concurred. "It has not been a priority of our leadership down (in Jackson) at all," Foster said of teacher pay.
