County Executive and County supervisors believe it's ok for workers to pay more of their

health care... I wonder if that extends to the executive and the supervisors?




"County Supervisor Steve Taylor says he supports increases to county employees' health care costs, though he does not agree with a plan to shift patrols of county parks away from the sheriff's office.

Taylor touched on a number of other topics at a sparsely-attended town-hall meeting in Oak Creek City Hall Thursday night, but the proposed county budget was the central focus. The county board is mulling County Executive Chris Abele's proposal and is scheduled to approve a budget in November.

The proposal calls for health care costs to continue to shift toward employees and retirees to help make up for a $28.5 million budget shortfall.

Under Abele's plan, $9.3 million of anticipated health care costs increases would be covered by moving $10.5 million worth of costs to employees and retirees, according to a county board overview of the budget."
