The City knows what Bills and Payroll should be posted to their website, evidently you aren’t allowed to know. Nothing has been posted yet, but approval is on the agenda:
Labor unions are running the City of Bloomington!
They don’t work for you, you are their slaves forced to pay their salaries, benefits, and pensions.
On the pre-meeting agenda is a discussion of solid waste.
See PDF page 54: http://www.cityblm.org/Home/ShowDocument?id=15810
Why does Decatur have 9 different private companies offering garbage service? It’s called competition, as a result they pay less!
You are paying more for garbage and probably getting your rated increased again because there is no competition in Bloomington-Normal. The unions control the price, their salaries, benefits, and pensions. Don’t forget the spiking too!
Monday night they will be at Public Comment telling the alderman they aren’t allowed to vote on DISCUSSING privatization.
Start reading on page 25 at the link above. It looks like the City already did their research.
The Council will be looking at choosing from these options:
Since the Council is too chicken to end pension spiking, any guess on which they will choose?
Note: automatic annual 3% fee increase for solid waste pick up. Employees receive an automatic annual pay increase. This will not solve the LONG TERM financial stability of the City.
Yes indeed the union employees continue to spike prior to pension time. This will break the city, maybe not in my time, but it will. Renner is a east coast loon and a crybaby…bad combination. Weneed to vote next time.
CAN a CLASS ACTION suit be filed against the city??? For say, ANTI-TRUST laws or such? Just a thought..
It’s called V O T I N G – most people don’t.
