Readers debate State worker give backs on pensions and healthcare
The pensions and benefits for the officials and employees has already been reduced by the legislature, the costs of health benifits should be curbed by the legislature as well, but for the health care providers to raise costs they should have to go before the board of public utilities regarding tax funded health care costs. Why come after the worker when the health care vendors are milti-billion dollar enterprises, I’ll tell you why, too many politicians at all level of Govt. own stock in these companies and that kind of legislation might affect the stock prices.
Hummm , well in the Private sector I used to pay over $600 per month for health insurance for a single person working in finance and now I have a consulting contract were as part of the deal I pay a bit over $400 per month for insurance (up over 25% since Obamacare) So for the record how much do you really pay in??
we in the village we pay a lot more then we ever did. and it’s not cheep. and we all pay more into the pension, because upper gov’t took a lot of money out of the fund . 1 is like the dumb big mall in the swamp. that never open up.
the top dog’s in the state screwed up big time. they must stop going after the workers all the time. it’s funny that they did not touch the fire and police money.
They have touched fire and police money more than the rest Pay attention!
Hey #2 stop the bull. They have taken the money from the police and fire pensions. Try getting your facts before you post.
