I would offer the likelihood that those salaries have more to do with the local cost of living, and or hardship conditions, than the generosity of said states and communities

That is a fair point, since the COL in NY State is higher than in Iowa, for example. It is also fair to say some of the red states are less than generous when it comes to paying their teachers. Teaching should not be a subsistence occupation.
