Update: meeting minutes explaining opt out checks and stipend.

Video:  Watch Tamburro explain his stipend and opt out for health benefits.

These are copies of the health care opt-out checks that our elected officials in Monroe Township receive.  Who receives these checks?  Mayor Pucci, Ward 2 Councilman Tamburro and Councilwoman Leslie Koppel receive them.   What does this mean?
It means that they receive these checks yearly for not taking health care from the township. These are all part-time politicians and yet they get these fat taxpayer funded checks.
What is worse is that they can even have a job working for the state or county where they receive health benefits paid for by the taxpayers and then opt out of the benefits in Monroe and get this nice payout. Taxpayers pay twice by giving them health benefits and then by giving them an opt out check.
Part-time politicians should not be getting any of these perks. This is a travesty and you have the power to stop it on November 3rd.
We need for you to help spread the word, share this, and educate the people of Monroe Township. Your taxes just went up and your elected officials are reaping these kinds of obscene rewards.    If elected, we will end this practice once and for all.

Here is an article on the pay and benefits package Mayor Pucci Receives from the MCIA.
