an important benefit of any job. and if we are lucky enough to have it---most of us pay a big chunk of the cost. but a school board in switzerland county, indiana thinks it should get mostly free health care. and we think this is right out of the... "you've got to be kidding me" file!!. this is video of the board meeting school board ed the perk . but, once again pay for vision insurance coverage--for one dollar per year per three that opposed it, do not take the perk. so how much is it costing taxpayers? since 2011, the almost 486 thousand dollars for those four board members. a nice perk...for part-time positions! kudos to board

bennett, who's the county school board member on record... to the perk. if he had freed up 30 to 80 per year in taxpayer money. this is a school board -- where the focus should be on children and teachers--not unreasonable benefits for the school board members. we think it's time the taxpayers of switzerland at this school board at election very least, school board members should pay the same price for health insurance as their teachers! steve rain and flurries on the way.
