ANOTHER REASON WHY CITIZENS HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE CITY

(Ed.'s Note: Here is a letter received by all city retired employees except for those who retired from the Brownsville Police Dept.

As you can see the city has gone out their way to gouge the city employees and retirees since last year.The rates have gone up somewhere between 200% to 300%

These changes in medical premiums will affect 80 to 100 retirees and their families and most city employees wanting to retire.The taxpayers need to know that the system is broken.

The mismanagement of the city health insurance is outrageous.The taxpayers needs to know that a certain department is not paying their fair share and 1,400 city employees and retirees have to subsidize them to their benefit and the hell with the others.

The commissioners and mayor were made aware of this through their committee. A lot of people are shocked by this and majority of the city employees have lost faith at city hall!

Trump is a world- historical dummy. One of the biggest ignoramuses in public life, ever. We've learned the depths some voters will got to just for a little hatred of immigrants and culture- shaming of black people.

Check out the premium for BISD retires and include their medicare monthly payment. We were state employees but we don't get the benefits of the other state employees. And we taught them all, so I guess they didn't learn in our class????????

Safety and risk director Fernando Arrellano is a disgrace. City employees have complained to him about safety and risk issues and he covers for his buddies. This increase is a scam.

Why is the City targeting only the retired Firefighters and not Police retirees? It is a double-standard and needs to be fixed ASAP. O todos Hijos de Dios o todos Hijos Del Diablo.

CITY MANAGER SUCKS AND DIRTY TREY PIZZA, CHEESE IS MADE FROM POWDERED MILK!!!

Do not FORGET they want a pay raise, spend money on useless WEEKENDS activity. Trips to Las Vegas, 500,00.00. FOR someone in Dallas to write city codes for Brownsville Tx. When they could of ordered one from the state of Texas for free. A city mánager who has done nothing to show any progress. Dirty Trey pizza, has 2 burned houses to the ground. Fire department over paid. The houses were behind the fire station downtown. GIVING away the golf course, big mistake. Car allowence and phone allowence should be discontinued. AND ALL THE ASSISTENCE TO THE DEPT. HEADS. City Manager, YOUR FIRED!
DO NOT BLAME TAXPAYER.

Insurance costs are fucking high and I doubt these retirees are healthy at their retirement ages with the food we have to eat down here. Shits got to get paid somehow. You're just begging for higher taxes down the road letting them keep old rates. If you're really worried about healthcare write about the shitty stats Texas has for uninsured people and health care issues in general.

What’s bullshit and ruining the city is that this plan just doesn’t cover the retiree but a spouse too and the entire family? Totally unheard of!!!! Absurd and a waste to taxpayer dollars!!!!! Only the retiree should have healthcare!!!!! Wow just wow!

The early version of the next generation SpaceX rocket appeared to fail during a pressurization test, sending billowing clouds of gas and its hood miles into the air at the company's Boca Chica, Texas test site on Wednesday. A webcam streaming from nearby South Padre Island caught the "anomaly" that occurred at 3:27 p.m. Central Time.

No surprise that the City of Brownsville is out to save a few dollars to avoid taking care of their dedicated employees! Harlingen screwed their retires back in the beginning of 2000 and continue to screw current employees with their lame retirement package! Instead of maintaining of two to one payouts over time. The City of Harlingen goes to a 401 retirement system betting on the stock market!
Either way, if you want any career and ensure your future?
DON'T WORK FOR A MUNICIPALITY!
