WHO:                                     U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (AL-03)

The Montgomery County Commission voted today to increase the employee/retiree healthcare plan contributions by $25 per month for individual and family coverage.  However, the cost would be reduced by the same amount if employees and/or spouses remained tobacco-free.  A signed affidavit stating that the employee is tobacco-free is required for employees to to receive the discount. 

These changes will be reflected on the employee's first October 2012 paycheck.  The County's contribution to the Healthcare and Wellness Plan will increase from $510 per month to $525 per month.

The County Commission also adopted a new wellness Cross-Fit program, which is a high-intensity exercise program. The monthly membership cost is $100, half of which will be paid by participating employees through payroll deductions and half by the County Healthcare Fund.

Come and ride with us in the middle of the day on Saturday, April 28, 2012. We'll line up in the far side of the Wal-Mart SuperCenter parking lot at 6545 Atlanta Highway, Montgomery, Alabama, by 11:30. The SuperCenter is on the left side of Atlanta Highway as you are headed east away from downtown. Your navigator may not lead you to it accurately. Kick stands up, for this police-escorted, high-profile ride, at high noon. It's only seven miles to the state capitol building, but it will be a proud seven miles.
