After telling state employees to go suck an egg, that is
..... NO stinkin 1% raise over two years, let's make it, say 3 or 4...
......mandatory furloughs,
......layoffs,
......new $750 health care deductible,
......reductions in optical, dental and health insurance benefits....
NAGE State Employees settle for less than nothing from the Gov and the Legislature..... but....
What is the Governor and Legislature prepared to offer Municipal employees?...
A "LIMITED" (wink-wink) ERIP (Early Retirement Program..... )
(City and Town workers get to add 3 years to their age or 3 years to length of service....nice!)
Obviously there are more state employee concessions on the way to pay for this pricey program... (the gov and the legislature put out press releases last july saying that there would be no ERIPS because they don't save any money..... but as long as it comes out of NAGE hides I guess the additional cost is OK....)
Isn't that the usual course????...
.....need to pay for illegal immigrants health care?,
.....or Fat Municipal Helathcare insurance ?,
.....or nice annual COLAs for municipal unions?.....
No problem simply dial 1-800-NAGE-GiveBacks... here's how I imagine it....
I'm guessing that the Administration is already sitting down to negotiate further state employee concessions with Dave Holway and SEIU to fund this costly kiss to the Municipals...
NAGE shakes you down for $5.4 million a year in dues, and sells you down the river.... they continue to fail you....when will the sheeple wake up?
Here's the particulars from the Gov's web site.
Municipal Early Retirement Plan
The Governor today sent a letter to the Committee on Municipalities requesting it include additional proposals in a municipal relief package the committee is expected to report out shortly.
Among the Governor’s new proposals is an optional Early Retirement Incentive program for cities and towns. The proposal is structured in a restrictive manner to ensure that desired near-term savings exceed the present value cost to the pension system while still giving city and town managers sufficient flexibility to structure the program in a manner that avoids adverse operating impacts. By making this program available at local option, it will give cities and towns the flexibility to determine for themselves whether this tool is appropriate for their community.
Under the terms of the plan, eligible employees must have at least 20 years of service and must be paid out of the municipality’s operating budget. The number of participating employees shall be limited, with a strong consideration for the impact on municipal services and programs. Eligible employees would receive a maximum of three years of additional age or creditable service, or a combination of the two, the sum of which may not be greater than three.

DevalPatrick:"Hi Dave?, Deval here.... yeahhhh, we're going to need some more concessions from the sheeple, can you take care of it?
Holway: "No problem Gov, those dolts do believe whatever we tell them.... just keep those dues coming..."
DevalPatrick:"Thanks, I knew we could count on you...
