More benefits coming for city employees, including elected officials
City employees will start getting more vacation and sick time starting next month, according to a memo sent out by City Manager Ed Kitchen. He details it here, but the change basically increases the number of leave hours accrued per month to bring Greensboro in line with other governments.
Kitchen also proposes giving health and dental benefits to city council members for the first time. He estimates the benefits would cost about $37,000 per year if all the council members take part.
Kitchen said he is implementing the citywide vacation change starting Feb. 1, but he left it up to the council to vote on giving themselves additional perquisites.

Maybe Ed Kitchen would make a lot of points if he gave the city council free retirement benefits.
