I remember seeing her brag to a bunch of private high school kids at their graduation (in her speech) about how she cut teachers pensions.

>She was elected as the state’s first female governor in 2014. In that job, she introduced free community college and all-day kindergarten, repeatedly raised the minimum wage and cut business taxes. She also courted controversy by proposing a toll on commercial trucks to rebuild the state’s roads and bridges.
