Great ideas and maybe if we got some of these free riders off the medical benefits we have to pay for, it would save a lot of bucks

Looks like a bunch of savings here and yet the majority of boards and commissions get no compensation. http://www.valleybreeze.com/Free/MAIN-PAW-Pay-for-boards--w-headshots

I really doubt any board and commission members do it or the money.  They are mostly interested citizens who look to do the right thing.  


I applaud the savings this might bring.  It's not going to solve our problem, but if B&C give up their compensation, and we can convince the City Council and School Committee to give up their health benefits, won't that send a signal to all involved that we all need to pitch in in these dire times.
