Water Authority Board Members May Lose Health Insurance
Following two rulings by state AG Andrew Cuomo, Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks has introduced legislation to end the payment of health insurance benefits to future members of the Monroe County Water Authority Board. However, board members will still receive salaries ranging from $7,000 -$10,500.
Additionally, current board members, many of whom have made campaign contributions to Brooks and the County Republican Party, will still receive the health benefits.
Here at the WBP we would like to think that Maggie has been reading our demands to end the perks for authorities and keeping an eye on our most recent poll regarding said benefits and that is why she introduced this bill. More likely, though, this is a calculated political move meant to position Brooks as a reformer in the upcoming election while doing nothing to disturb her political cronies already in place.

So let me get this straight. AG says “Thou shalt not...” because its illegal. “Reformer” Maggie says ok, we won’t do this for future appointees (’cause she doesn’t have a choice) but we’re not going to change a darn thing (even though AG says its illegal) for those on the board now. Now that’s “reform”!
Am I understanding this properly? Seems like anyone ought to be able to see this Maggie’s transparent charade here.
Why would she piss in the bowl of Wheaties that provides a paycheck for her husband: MCWA's director of security?
Thanks for that info, was not aware -
