unemployment benefits because she is unemployed and was asked

to leave the school district but not fired for cause. It will be up to the

state unemployment compensation board to approve Ackermans

claim.

Apparently you cannot have a dialogue on this site and there is censorship since I cannot reply to

those who have replied to me to retort or clarify.

A tactic I would expect at a liberal leaning site, not a conservative leaning one.

Color me gone.

Bet she hasnt paid the IRS. How black people are audited by the IRS? Almost none, just ask Jessie

Jackson


Eric Blankenburg

Leftists love to dream about a fantasy regarding the 99% against the 1%.

The reality is about the 55% who WORK for a living against the 45% who VOTE for their living.

There are poor, middle class, and rich people on both sides.

Greedy, covetous socialists and communists d/b/a Democrats run government like organized

criminals, including special treatment for Democrat unions. Thats the only way lazy, incompetent,stupid, worthless people (i.e. Democrats) can get rich, i.e., by stealing money from taxpayers and

giving it to themselves in legal theft. Democrats vote for Democrats to steal ever more for them to

supplement what they already steal for themselves. Democrats are Americans worst enemy.

Bill

do you think she is a republican or democrat??


vicki

A democrat who voted for Obama. Too bad they gave her a package on the way out the door,

they should have just fired her.


John A

If she not working the rules say she s entitled.


Databyter

It is an insurance, not a welfare program.

Both the employee and the Employer pay into it on the EMPLOYEEs behalf.

It is hers to claim if she decided to do so.

Her income or bank balance is irrelevant.

So are you meathead.

Archie Bunker I presume.


Berenice Bauer

Did payroll for many years and have son with his own business and I can tell you that

employees DO NOT pay into unemployment only employers. It is a cost of doing business that

is not a write-off.

Unemployment insurance is NOT welfare.

She paid into it and got laid off.

It is HER money, for insurance SHE paid for and she has it coming.

The ones who should be outraged about this are not conservatives who understand the concept of

getting what you are entitled to, but the socialists who do not beileve in the concept.


sickofnlrb

Actually, SHE did not pay into the system. Unemployment insurance is paid for by the

employer. She paid nothing into the system. Obviously you are not a conservative that has ever

had to run a business and pay the bills. Might want to check the facts before typing in CAPS.


yarply

Actually. Unemployment benefits comes from the employer and employees do not pay into it at

all..


JTK01

conservative Repulican. Right.


Databyter

Yes, that IS right.

But I call them the way I see them because unlike some my views are not regurgitated

talking points but my own.


Ghostsouls

She was booted out for several reasons, and they reached an agreement like most places do to

not have to go to trial. A separation agreement, that is not retirement. Ackerman has beenunder pressure for much of her tenure in Philadelphia, over several issues (see previous story):

racial violence at South Philadelphia High School, a no-bid contract awarded to a minority firm

(see related story), and the whopping budget deficit (see related story). So she is being

rewarded for bad behavior, this is the very reason Unions need to be busted, so teacher and

those in the education union can be fired for poor performance. It is costing the taxpayers

literally millions for people who are lazy, and should not even have the jobs they hold. We should

reward for excellence, not abject failure.


DEAR GHOSTSOULS

SOUNDS VERY RAY CIST TOO ME I LIKE IT 4 SURE SHE REMAINS 1


Nia Di

Heads up, but unemployment insurance is generally paid in full, by the employer. I

Also, regardless if what shes attempting to do is legal or not; it shows that she has absolutely

no moral integrity, is completely without a sense of ethics and that her value system is

thoroughly fouled up.

About the only thing she seems to possess in abundance, is greed.


Andrew P.

I believe in PA (where this story takes place), the Unemployment tax is paid predominantly by

the employer (up to $8000 per employee per fiscal year), although the employee does pay 0.9%

of his/her paycheck towards it. However, when the states UI funds are low (as I m sure they are

given our present economy), the federal government pays into it.

However, I agree with you. If we as a nation are going to believe in entitlement rights, then they

must be applied equally. She paid her dues (granted, all 0.9% of them), and she should receive

the entitlements.

6/12

People need to keep in mind that UI benefits have never been need-based. I too am a

conservative. And I too believe that by paying her taxes (local, state, and federal), she paid

enough into the system to reap the benefits of it.


OneandDone

So is that the new liberal talking point? Start your sentence with Im a conservative Republican

I have never paid into unemployment but my employer sure has and the state has to match what

my employee pays plus some with all the extensions so honey, get your story straight.

Unemployment comes out of TAXPAYERS money!


smokehouse56

Youre a Republican conservative my butt. Liar.


Sammie Jo

not exactly, she only paid in half, her employer pays the other half, and if you got a severance

package, the state divides your normal weekly salary into that money, in weeks, and when you

have used up your severance on paper, then you can get an unemployment check.

For instance, if you get a check for 4 weeks severance, you cant a check until that severance is

used up.When you fill out your unemployment app, they ask you if you got any severance and that is

deducted from your start time.


Larz Larzen

I bet she brought along pepper spray so that she wouldnt be denied.

Once a trougher, always a trougher. This is pathetic, even for an education bureaucrat.


Chuck U Farley

Well, she needs all the money she can get..so she can afford to buy more food.how else is

she going to stay that fat? Obesity is a serious problem, and staying that way costs money!

You dont think she just woke up one morning, looked at herself and said oh, no!no, getting

and maintaining that bod took time and serious conscientious effort. I would not be surprised ifshe was collecting food stamps as well. fterall, if you are black and live in Philly, you can get

away with anything.

I fear that only a civil war is the only way to stop this run away insanity. The Neo/coms have

a slave working my remaining years to feed,clothe and house others. That is immoral. Liberals

have lost all sense of balance and common sense. You cannot have a decent discussion with a

lib before they call you a bigot for disagreeing with them.


Attila The Hun

Civil war is correct. Whether we want it or not. Predictable as hot weather in summer

breeds bad storm.


Andrew P.

A civil war huh? Thats what you think.. Just because Jefferson said, The tree of liberty

must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants, doesnt mean

we should be advocating violence. In any case, it probably wouldnt help. What we need is

compromise, not conflict. Partisanship is what is destroying us. Of course the Dems and

the GOP wont always agree. They need to compromise to ensure lasting results. A super-

committee is not an example of compromise.

Im sure I agree with you on many subjects in the political arena, but to advocate a civil

war is reckless. Lives will be lost, and its doubtful that the change will be for the better.

perseus317

What is needed is for people to store this story away, and then publish it over all web pages the next

time there are contract negotiations between the city and the teachers and administrators in its

schools. We continue to throw money at schools and teachers, but there is no improvement in the

educational level of our students. Money is not the answer. Accountability and alternatives (by way of

vouchers) are much more effective ways of improving education.

President Obamas slow ride down Gallups daily presidential job approval index has finally

passed below Jimmy Carter, earning Obama the worst job approval rating of any president at this

stage of his term in modern political history.

Since March, Obamas job approval rating has hovered above Carter s, considered among the20th centurys worst presidents, but today Obama s punctured Carters dismal job approval line.

On their comparison chart, Gallup put Obamas job approval rating at 43 percent compared to

The law does *not* allow it. If you choose to leave your job, you are not eligible. If you are taking

time off and not actively looking for a job, you are not eligible.

Jay

Who is going to give you free medical coverage for life? Smells bogus to me.


Julius Vernon

Actually a lot of government employees or union workers get that benefit. Pathetic that we

should be flipping the bill for that.


Julius Vernon

You dope. You can only collect unemployment if you were terminated, not for quitting.


Tom ONeill

You mean laid off.Not terminated.


Tom ONeill

And she waited until Obama submitted a bill to extend benifits for two years. If

she had applied befor Obama submitted his request,she would only be eligible

fo 26WKs.


I'm right and you're not

This request shows that she would fit in well on Wall Street.


Kathy P.

You have GOT to be kidding me.this is totally OUTRAGEOUS! And people wonder what Occupy

and so many other Americans think of our government, both federal and local, who write the policies

and laws that allow this stuff to happen?


harkin

Liberalism in a nutshell, stick it totaxpayers repeatedly.


LostGirl

This is beyond disgusting. And it cant be contested? Oh, Im sorry, but there is soooo much

entitlement attitude going on here. How many Philadelphians dont even have jobs? A coworker had a

perfect suggestion: Occupy Philadelphia should go occupy in front of her house. Greed to the nth

degree!!

BOO HISS ON HER AND ALL HER LYING CRONIES.


Raymond A. Collier

Files for Unemployment after receiving $905,000.00 buyout? Fricken Incredible!!!!! Have to admit, shes

got Chutzpah! Now, DENY THE REQUEST FOR UNEMPLOYMENT!!!!!! Find another line of work!


Greg LaLiberte

Greedy, self-entitled urban leech.!

Tiredofitall

What a greedy b!+(h. She has already hoovered us tax payers pockets dry with that cool Million, and

now shes going for the jugular (sp?). I repeat: Shes a GREEDY B!+(H.


Raymond A. Collier

$905,000 buyout. Now she wants Unemployment???? Youre breaking My Heart! Shes a Leech on

the System! After this little stunt, she better save every dime of that buyout. I wouldnt hire her for what

shes doing. Ive been fired from a number of Jobs & couldve taken Unemployment. I Didnt! I found

another Job. If I can do it, so can she!


Tiredofitall

I know I made my comment below, but, I m liking yours better. You said it so much better than I did.

LOL


Darrel

And so incompetant they paid her $905,000 to just leave. Somebody please hunt down this cow and

slap the stupid out of her.


veritas

but don cha know, shes a DOCTA!!!!


SPhillyGuy73

Pennsylvanias actually a pretty decent state to live in. Philadelphia on the other hand is a typical

mess of a city that has been run into the ground by progressive, out of control liberals for the past 50-

plus years.


ATH

Great moniker Crack in your side


Crack in side pocket

Thats the point. Ebonics is hilarious. Whats even funnier is ebonics. Isnt that just a liberal excuse for

poor English speaking skills


OneandDoneIm guessing you forgot about the 3rd war Obama started and he didn t even get congressional

approval.


OneandDone

Oh and while we are on the subject of budgets, why hasnt Obama passed a budget since he became

president? You complain Bush didnt put the war in his budget well, at least he HAD a budget. Obama

doesnt even know what a budget is!


Fyou

Youre a moron. Come see me in Baltimore sometime. Ill show you all the stupid, worthless, lazy

people. Crack addicts who keep having more kids so they can collect more welfare. Wanna guess

who they voted for?
