BoardTownship Council of the Township of Jefferson Resolution
The Township Council adopted a resolution to formally oppose the significant rate increases implemented for the State Health Benefits Program. The council calls for the State Health Benefit Commission to reconsider these increases and supports state legislative efforts to establish an investigative committee with subpoena power to review the origins of these rate hikes. Furthermore, the resolution urges the legislature to expand the composition of the commission to include municipal and county representatives and advocates for investigating the use of American Rescue Plan funds to offset the financial burden on public employees and local governments.
