John Havlicek stopped in studio just days after saying adiós to the teaching profession after 31 years — 28 of those at Central High School.

So, of course, we had to tell a couple of retirement stories, but also got into some of the politics surrounding education and beyond with Havlicek, who is a political activist. 

Beyond education, we also discussed what he’d like to see as priorities in those running for statewide office — like governor and the Legislature.

That included a public option for healthcare, the ability for anyone to participate in the state run pension retirement plan and his idea of government working for the bottom 80%.
