deal wouldn't actually become law. well, it turns out they were right to be concerned. over the weekend, republicans in the state senate instead passed a bill giving teachers only a 4% raise, arguing it was unfair for teachers to get a 5% raise while other state workers only got 3%. the conference committee trying to work out a compromise remains deadlocked tonight while rich carmichael argues teachers should be happy with what lawmakers gave them. >> we're providing over $2,000 to teachers, the largest pay raise in 28 years. that's all the money we have. it's an amazing pay raise. it locks in our insurance premiums and rates and will the teachers stay out on strike because they only got 80% of their demands? >> yes, they are. >> well, i think that's sends a bad message to society and to our frankly our students that there is compromise. mature adults compromise. and that's what we do in this legislative process. and frankly, 80% of your demand is a very good outcome. >> now two things to note about that.
