Good News As VSEA Members Head To Fact Finding
The Times Argus reports that the State and lawmakers (and state employees, for that matter) will not have to worry as much about the financial fallout from an Obamacare excise tax called the "Cadillac tax" (a misnomer, as the tax would impact more than 70% of America’s health plans, and 70% of Americans aren’t driving Cadillacs).
This is good news as three VSEA bargaining units prepare for fact finding with the State in January. State negotiators have expressed their concern about the tax’s impact to the state budget, but now, it appears, they have no reason for a knee-jerk reaction.
