So let me get this straight. The School Committee agreed to a two year contract with the eachers union that foramized the exisiting 20% healthcare co-pay (which resulted in no savings or expense) and granted pay increases of 1% and 11/2% resulting in an additional $2.1 million. There are some savings in the second year due to a change to the weighting formula nest year but those savings are not known at this time. (the unique weighting provision still exists).

Funny, the City was able to negotiate the 20% co-pay while agreeing to a three year conract with no raises.

I'm glad to read the cooments of chool Committee Vice Chairman Patrick Mahoney that state the School Committee will not be seeking any increase in local taxes to pay for this contract. Let's see what happens when the School Department submits its budget to he City next spring. Oh by the way, it's interesting that Mr. Mahoney says that he has represented the taxpayers on every vote he's taken. Does that include the vote to sue the City for $6.2 milion. Isn't that like suing the taxpayers?
