Milwaukee Weather
AT THE TROUGH IN KENOSHABy Charlie SykesTaking a page from the Milwaukee County Board's playbook, Kenosha supervisors take care of themselves first. Kenosha County supervisors opted Tuesday to beef up, rather than cut, their health insurance... After one supervisor’s motion to eliminate the supervisors’ health benefit fell flat, another supervisor’s motion to make it even better barely passed.... Supervisors, who are paid a $6,000 annual salary, are entitled to employee health benefits, for which the county currently subsidizes 90 percent of the premium cost. The subsidy is budgeted to decrease to 85 percent in 2010...
Mark Molinaro said supervisors should not be ashamed of receiving compensation for their work. “My point is this,” he said. “We deserve the compensation for what we do.” After Hallmon’s motion fell on a 22-5 vote, with Hallmon, Zerban, Jennifer Jackson, Roger Johnson and Bob Haas in the minority, Huff made a motion to go the opposite way. Huff proposed eliminating any premium cost for supervisors, saying the county should pay 100 percent of it, as it does with elected county officials. His motion passed 14-13,... |

The REALLY pathetic part of this is the Supervisor who proposed this, Huff, is a RETIRED cop who has cadillac health insurance. Which, of course, is 100% paid for by the CITY of Kenosha taxpayers.

MD, That's point number 2 of my three point plan if this crap continues. Quit paying... If you are self employed, don't send your quarterly... On April 15th if u owe, don't pay, any fines, fees, regs, water bills, car registrations, traffic tix, whatever, don't f-ing pay... Not sure if we are to that stage just yet but I think if health care and cap and tax happen it's coming... these smug (D)'s must think complete revolt can't happen... I beg to differ...

Let's please remember next election who these amoral louts are! Why on earth should these part-time employees get cadillac plans? My job would pay little for bene's as a part-time employee, and I paid a hefty fee for bene's as a Full-time employee.

I wish I had the ability to vote myself a raise or additional benefits. Where do I sign up?

We need to recall all the super's that voted for this. Better yet, take Scott Walkers suggestion and eliminate them from office

Let's see ... almost 11 percent unemployment rate in Kenosha and they're busy trying to figure out how to attract business and create jobs -- no wait, priorities -- need to take care of ourselves first attitude! Yeah, that makes so much more sense.

Typo - it should be "narcissistic". (I know how the trolls always like to correct spelling errors)

Now that is free healthcare you can believe in. Remember that "public servants" deserve YOUR money for compensation for what they do. If times are tough for YOU and you have to tighten your belt a little more so they don't have to, that's just too bad. I guess it's not just our president that is narccissistic.
