WPCNR COUNTY CLARION-LEDGER. From Westchester County Association. January 14,2010: Today the WCA hosted close to 500 business and political leaders at its 13th Annual Breakfast with the County Executive. At the breakfast, County Executive Rob Astorino made a major policy announcement that will help reduce the cost of government. He has proposed legislation requiring all non-union managerial County employees contribute 15 percent of the overall cost of their health insurance premiums. This legislation would affect more than 400 county employees and would mean a savings of about $1.2 million a year.
We urge the business community to contact their local County Legislator and tell them to vote YES on this legislation. They should also be reminded to voluntarily contribute the 15% as County Executive Astorino announced he would do.
