Shame on our Utah Legislators, specifically, all legislators that are voting yes to HB 213. As a state employee for over 15 years, I work with the most dedicate, hard working, service oriented people I know. Can our legislators say that? I submit NO!! They gave themselves lifetime health insurance, paid by the state after only 4 years of service. Do the math, does this sound like dedication? No, it says to me, SELF SERVING!!!! How dare our representatives vote yes to HB 213. This bill will take away an EARNED benefit, that state employees EARN, through life time service. We save our sick leave, so as to use it responsibly and to not miss work unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!!!
Legislators, get your act together. YOU SERVE US!!! WE ARE TAX PAYERS AND PAY YOUR SALARY (which you gave yourselves a raise, when state employees haven’t had one) Y0U CAN ACCEPT GIFTS, state employees cannot.
SHAME ON OUR LEGISLATORS THAT VOTE YES, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTING UTAH FAIRLY. State employees work and represent Utah.
