Any questions regarding the flyer being distributed by the Coalition of Rutland City Public Employees? You can email: cgodbout@rutlandhs.k12.vt.us
Please ask specific questions regarding why they are against saving taxpayers money and against paying below the average employee contribution within the state.
State average is 26%, with a health insurance plan of $13,000, while the city plan currently is a 7% (with a 4% of base salary cap) and a plan of $23,500. Does this sound fair to the struggling taxpayers of Rutland City?
PS - contacts for their organization don't even live in the city, big surprise!

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS TO (RUN) FOR RAISING THE TAXES BY DOING AWAY WITH THE 85 PERCENT CAP. YOU PEOPLE HAVE SHOULD HAVE DONE YOUR HOME WORK FIRST INSTEAD YOU SHOOT FROM THE HIP. CITY PEOPLE STOP LISTENING TO (RUN)..
ReplyDeleteRutland United Neighbors? The 85 cent cap has been replaced with a direct vote on the ballot. It's unfortunate that the Mayor has taken advantage of this and proposed to raise everyone's taxes. Maybe a call as to why he proposed a budget in access of the 85 cent cap, which is the highest tax rate is rutland city's history?, is being fiscally responsibilbe in these economic times.
ReplyDeleteSo the blame should be placed with the person who crafted and approved the budget we will see on the ballot - THE MAYOR AND THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN.
Maybe the cap should be placed back? Is this what you would like? If so what should the cap be, less?
maybe people who own apartment houses and have kids should pay 25% more in taxes. thats a demand on city services. just a thought.
