Audit this Mayor Bergson.

Mayor Bergson gets it wrong again. Why are you getting an audit we already know that the health care cost is at 280 million and it is on the rise as we speak. This issue needs to start getting dealt with now. We can not wait any longer.

The audit was asked by the unions. Remember I have asked many times for the unions not to interfere with task force recommendations. They of course don't care if this gets fixed or not and they are using a pro-union Mayor to prove it.

As I said before these reconditions are great and most citizens like and the council agreed to them as well. Even union heads were at the council meeting and said this was a great plan but it was just a joke and the unions did not want to be the only ones publicly saying bad things about it at the council meeting.



Duluth Mayor Herb Bergson is calling for an independent audit of the city's self-insurance funds, saying the review is needed before he can embrace recommendations to eliminate $280 million in unfunded retiree health-care costs.
Bergson said his call for an outside review was prompted by charges from a City Council-appointed task force that the insurance fund has been mismanaged, neglected or abused for decades.
