Only $322! You
read that right. Marc Schrieks
contributed only $322 in total for almost 4 years of the best coverage.
Marc Schrieks pledged not to take health benefits as a
part-time councilman/mayor. He approved
a resolution waiving his right to benefits.
Not only was Marc secretly receiving health benefits,
he contributed next to nothing for almost 4 years of coverage.
While Marc was a Lodi substitute teacher, he was
receiving health benefits from Lodi. Yet
he was contributing nowhere near what every full time teacher and custodian in
his building was contributing towards their health benefits.
Marc was a part-time councilman attending two short
meetings a month. Marc Schrieks was
contributing nowhere near what every full time borough employee was
contributing towards their health benefits.
Marc didn’t only receive health benefits as a
part-time councilman. Marc also enrolled
himself in the public pension system. As
a part-time councilman building up years in the pension system, Marc was
receiving a $6,000 salary. When Marc
retires, he will be collecting a public pension based on a six figure salary.
It’s not the ordinary public employee bankrupting the
pension system. It’s the part-time
elected officials gaming the system. It’s
the pension-padders. It’s the politicians
incapable of leading by example- always receiving special treatment and privileges
for themselves.
