As a result, the school system never even got a quote from WEA Trust, which could have met or beaten the quotes provided by other entities. Consequently, our school system is now paying MORE for LESS coverage at HIGHER cost to employees and to the school system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-7457377120327713712012-11-25T15:20:55.668-06:002012-11-25T15:20:55.668-06:00And our gas prices would be cheaper if the gas com...And our gas prices would be cheaper if the gas companies stopped spending money on political activities. Should we outlaw all money spent on political activities(which I am on board with) or should we just stop people from giving to democrats?

My question is, did they lower their rates? My assumption is, that by not spending 1.6 million on political activity like they did in 2010, they were able to lower their rates. Or, maybe forced to, as they are now participating in a free market.Imustberacisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980736361844115046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-19864742267843704812012-11-24T14:37:26.470-06:002012-11-24T14:37:26.470-06:00That doesn't even make sense.That doesn't even make sense.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-58701046835020298502012-11-24T10:10:59.065-06:002012-11-24T10:10:59.065-06:00Is there a source that shows what the cost per emp...Is there a source that shows what the cost per employee was for the WEAC plan prior to act 10 compared to after? That would be a true gauge of whether WEAC was competitive before or not. Apparently they are now, but the fact that their expenditure on election spending went down by roughly 1000 percent in the last election compared to 2010 leads me to believe they have tightened up their numbers a bit.Imustberacisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980736361844115046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-67609227103000463512012-11-22T23:57:33.789-06:002012-11-22T23:57:33.789-06:00Anon, you would NEVER find this very accurate info...Anon, you would NEVER find this very accurate info in the press. My school district tried other insurance companies and came back to WEA Trust. It was the best deal for the districts AND employees. <br /><br />And Walker saying this was an expensive union plan was just a plain old flat out lie. WEA Trust functions as an insurance company and investment options...no more no less. It is not WEAC. Either the opponents are woefully uninformed or just plain lying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688601341924739138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-17379064219486778572012-11-22T22:51:39.420-06:002012-11-22T22:51:39.420-06:00I've been saying this for YEARS.
