When Not Even 7.1 Percent Is Enough Of An Increase

Teacher pay is so low that some dedicated educators have (allegedly) resorted to selling drugs:

Investigators armed with a search warrant stormed into the home of Rishona White, 34, at 1051 Eastern Parkway at 5:30 p.m. after they suspected narcotics were being sold out of the Tilden HS teacher’s house.

After conducting the search, cops found a large amount of heroin, cocaine, and marijuana, police said.

White was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell. Police are looking into whether she sold drugs in the school or to students.
