[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they need to address compensation and retirement benefits. Including retiree health benefits.  That drives over 80% of all costs. If they adult up and do that, everything will be fine.

Its not 80% of the costs and there is huge waste in the county spending.

Try again:

“Factors within the County’s control include the scope of County services, employee compensation and benefits, and workforce size. Government is a labor-intensive enterprise. Across the four County-funded agencies, employee compensation costs (consisting of salaries and wages as well as benefits) comprise 80% of all agency operating expenditures. As such, the cost of government is driven by both the number of employees and the cost per employee. Since compensation costs are the dominant factor in the cost of providing County services, the long-term sustainability of County agency operating budgets is dependent upon maintaining a balance between compensation cost growth and revenue growth.”
