If true, this just doesn't pass the smell test
The Ypsi City Desk has caught wind of something really smelly in the dispute between Ypsilanti teachers, their support staff and the Ypsilanti Board of Education. Teachers are protesting the Ypsilanti School Board's choice, in order to save the district money, to change insurance providers from the current Blue Cross Blue Shield to Aetna.
OK, it's a time honored dispute of saving non existent tax money for taxpayers vs. having the hassle of perhaps getting lesser coverage and having to change doctors. Both are very valid reasons to have a strong opinion. It's deeper than what kind of trouble Lindsay Lohan is in this week.
But here's the thing and YSD is trying to get confirmation on. It has been suggested that the School Board has hired a consultant at pretty good money to deal with the insurance issue who is ALSO a former Aetna employee.
Is this true? Come on, this shouldn't be how we do business in Ypsilanti. These are your neighbors money or not.
