Today's one-liner: "The shortest way to the distinguishing excellence of any writer is through his hostile critics." Richard LeGallienne
After taking office in 2018, Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure restored and actually added to the health care benefits that had been cut by John Brown. He advised County Council last week that he's now exploring a health center for county employees and their dependents. It would be confidential and run by a third party.
Of the 481 county employees who responded to a survey, over 78% said they'd use it.
McClure said he's trying to make the work experience better for county workers.
You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
What exactly would this "health center " do, that isn't already covered by employees' health insurance at other medical facilities?
ReplyDeleteWith TV doing a lot on the Watergate break-in anniversary, I noticed something interesting. People complain that McClure is like Trump, since he is a bully and a self-promoter. However, he seems more like Nixon. Both were smart lawyers and both project a sense of false sincerity and modesty. Nixon was petulant and secretive and only given to carefully worded speeches like McClure.
ReplyDeleteSo, my vote is Nixon not Trump.
He is full of SH-T! He cares about no one but himself! Get rid of him!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I am a county employee and I dont want Lamont and Chuckie choosing my medical procedures and how my health is handled.
ReplyDeleteLet's keep health care private. No poorly run and staffed employee health center. Like Gracedale.
ReplyDeleteMaybe explore having retirees use it.
ReplyDeleteMcClure is an idiot. What exactly will this do that health insurance doesn’t?? Just another way to waste tax payer money
ReplyDeleteYet he stonewalls council on a pay study. He refuses to fund a study with his millions while he writes checks to anyone who can boost his numbers. Employees don't want a company doctor. What is this 1910?
