Insurance decision worries Lake Worth commissioner, not mayor

Click title for link to PBP article. More whistling by the graveyard by our Mayor. Does anyone know if he has left town yet? Nobody seems to hear from him on a day-to-day basis. The exception seems to be the Mayor's planned coffees, or this morning's meeting with potted plants. Oh, and then there is the State of the City address coming up next week where we will all be relieved to hear how things are not "really very catastrophic" here in Lake Worth. Sometimes I think that our Mayor made some sort of deal with the devil where he promised to be ineffectual throughout his entire term to help the forces of darkness continue to make headway.

The point to all this about the judgement against the city is this:  Why did the City go to the mat with this issue?  Why pay for the attorneys, upsetting our workers and violating union contracts?  That has a real cost.  Then we find out that the decision to stiff employees for out-of-pocket medical costs wasn't material anyway.  I'd like to see what the City spent to defend its indefensible position.  Who made the decision to go against the contract in the first place?
