Please verify the following statement - "The second measure (S-3) would require all employees — including current state, school district, and local employees — to pay at least 1.5 percent of their salary towards their health benefits after the expiration of their current contract, and would require all newly-hired employees to pay at least 1.5% of their base pension toward health benefits upon retirement." When I checked last, this only applied to employees in the state health plans and not to anyone who was enrolled in a private via their municipality or school district. If so, about half of all local and school employees would not have to pay.
