Reply #9: The money to continue the AB insurance was already set aside, but was

[old mark]

never given to the insurance company. I called them many times over the last year, and was finally told this: The company would have gladly continued the program at the original cost per month, but they never got the money from PA to do so, even though the money had been authorised and approved. This was in 2009-2010, before Corbett was even running in the primary.

Rendell has used public service employees as scapegoats throughout his career. Recall when he laid off many Philly city employees and froze wages to "balance the budget". He did so to state workers as well, and gave us the worst contract negotiations we ever had since we unionized in 1973.
Rendell has no use for workers or unions other than as contributors to his campaigns, and he has showed this clearly over the years.

I am certainly no defending Corbett-he will be many times worse than Rendell- but give "credit" where it is due.
