What are the issues? Norton Shores public safety millage

What are the issues? Norton Shores public safety millage MLive.com

Very good info from the public.

Who'd of guessed?

What a concept?

Listening to those who will pay the cost of the 3rd NS millage in 4 years.

More on the SEIU contract to be approved today.

Today's county commission agenda is so larded with porky badness that it takes my breath away.

Click the link and scroll down to pages 12-14 to see the new SEIU contract that strangely expires on Sept. 30 of this year.

I doubt there is ANY private company in the country that has benefits this out of whack!

Annual leave-24 days (that's almost 5 weeks off each year-fully paid!).

Sick Leave-18 days/yr (that's 3 1/2 weeks/yr. of paid sick leave and they get to keep the money if they don't use it!)

Retiree medical-County pays 100%!

Retirement-County pays 13% per year!

And on and on.

Read it and weep.

Or get in touch with your commissioner and tell them they have to stop bankrupting our county!
