City Claims Health Insurance Rates Will Rise 150%

At last weeks City Council Meeting I asked how much of a reduction I would personally see on my City taxes if they removed Councilwomen Debbie Campbell and Terry Cohen from the program. As you can see above, the answer is, NOTHING!

Now, with all due respect, the answer I received is a typical democrat at work. Well, it could go this high but there's no proof whatsoever that this will happen and when.

It seems Mayor Ireton is training them well from the book of Obama and O'Malley. So if it's negligible at $20k, what will it be at 50k? Noticeable???????

I think I made an excellent point here. The taxpayers won't feel it AT ALL if they kept them on the City's Insurance. More evidence this is a personal vendetta against these two Council Members and that the former Tilghman Administration is still in charge of the City.

In closing, IF the Health Insurance is expecting to rise 150%, what is the City doing to combat such a problem for hundreds of City Employees? Better yet, what are they doing to protect the Taxpayers who foot such a bill.

Did anyone else notice the demotion Ms. Chambers gave Mr. Pick? Note he is now Assistant City Administrator in the cc: field.

Freudian Slip?

And did you notice she signed it with the tag 'PhD (candidate)'?
Any tax money being used to reimburse education expenses?
I don't know that the taxpayers would need to help her get a doctorate for that position.

Isn't the mayor's office considered a part time postion as well? If so then benefits for that position should also be abolished to keep it fair to all.
