Fresno County California school Superintendent Larry Powell is willing to take an $800,000 pay-cut over the next three years to help save programs in his district from budget cuts. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss.

2. This IS a great thing for this man to do.

A system where a school teacher earns $31,000 and a Superintendent "earns" over $800,000 a year is, IMO, the problem.

3. I think the $800,000 was over three years, so he actually earned

around $267,000 a year.

4. Okay...but "they" scream that teachers are overpaid..n/t
