Arizona Teachers' Strike Continues as State Budget Talks Stall
--------------------------------------------------------------

And in Arizona, public school teachers remain on strike today, as budget
negotiations that would include more funding for public education
stalled Wednesday. Republican Governor Doug Ducey has promised to sign a
budget deal that would end the strike, including a 20 percent pay raise
for teachers and school staff, but lawmakers are still debating the
budget. The strike began Thursday, with teachers protesting the $1
billion funding cuts to education in the state since the 2008 recession.
