Historically the Legislature has done a commendable job in avoiding proportionality. Furthermore, in this Regular Session, the House version of the appropriations bill also provides for full coverage for all eligible educators under the state benefits program. It is important to keep in mind that House members are to be lauded for their persistence on this issue.
