Editor,
I believe the action of John Accetturo forgoing health insurance is spot-on as an elected official who is performing public service, but did anybody really catch the travesty here of $27,000 per year? Not only should we, the taxpayers, not be responsible for this cost, but we also should wonder why the cost itself is so incredibly high. I am a small business owner who offers paid health insurance, so I do have great perspective of what insurance costs for employees, and it is nowhere even remotely close to $27,000 per year.
