Part Of The Plan?

Let history record that beginning July 1, for possibly the first time ever, Polk County’s elected officials will be paying for a portion of their taxpayer-subsidized health insurance.

Supervisors Chairwoman Angela Connolly said. “We all have to pay our fair share in terms of insurance costs.”

WOW!

Let me type that again backwards -- WOW!

Upon further review, these elected officials will being paying between $15 and $25 per month for insurance premiums.

So, at most, it'll cost them $300 per year.

In turn the Board of Supervisors received a salary of $95,806 a year, prior to their vote earlier this year to increase their (and all elected officials) pay by 1.9 percent.

Which means elected County officials will still pocket a pay raise of at least $1,500, according to our Jethro Bodine "ciphering" and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Damn generous of them.
