Smells like Fred did it for someone? Absolutely. He always tries the "best defense is a good offense" thing. He wants the CC on the defensive so they'll pass the salary piece for his belovedly co-opted school committee.
BTW - does Alconada still live in Everett? I know he was trying to sell his house last year. |

| The letter is not from FFF, it's from an elected official, who is very upset. |

| If the SC begins to get paid, any of them with 10 years service or about to get 10 years will be eligible for a pension from the city. I was told they already receive the Health Insurance, but I haven't verified that. |

Massdee, I don't think they can be getting health benefits. You have to be a paid employee of the city in order to take part in the health benefits.
Also . . . are you saying their current services is going to be "grandfathered" in in order to put them into the pension system? Because it's my understanding, again, that you have to be a paid employee to be eligible to receive a pension.
This just gets more and more bizarre. |

What I was told and have not yet verified, that they already get the health Insurance and the exact words to me were, "if they have 8 years in already in another two they will be eligible for the pension," The person who told me should know, but like I said I haven't verified it, so I won't say it's absolute.
Citizen, what you are saying makes more sense to me. We will have to listen carefully tonight. |
