Day 48

The folks the governor sent in to investigate things have come out with a preliminary report, and apparently they take both sides to task for not doing a lot of budging (which, I gather, is how today's negotiations went, as well, what a shock). But I also gather that the district got the worst of it. Anyway, tomorrow morning the judge rules on whether or not there will be an injunction to get us back to work, and then we'll see what happens. Right now, I think this could go in one of many, many directions, but it wouldn't surprise me if some sort of binding arbitration eventually gets involved. And I'll be honest, that may be exactly what this needs.
