How The City Of Hamtramck Treats Its Retired Officers - It Sucks & Was Planned - Just Ask Kathy Angerer

Jackie is one of those individuals you will not meet very often in your life.

She has a story.

She took in kids to save them from the foster care system.

She was an officer of the law who qualified for SNAP benefits.

She and I tried to get a juvenile officer position for the City of Hamtramck Police, but City Council had other uses for that money.

Just ask Tom Jankowski or Karen Majewski, but I believe we should focus on Kathy Angerer because she has lots of tales when it comes to the Emergency Manager of Hamtramck and Andy Dillon.

Oh, the stories I shall tell about Hamtramck and its City Attorney.

For retired the Hamtramck Police, I know about the health insurance cuts because they were planned.

The plan was to jack the contracts, where the union would go to court and win, but the city would appeal, taking years, whereby Obamacare was supposed to kick in, so the City would not have to pay health care benefits.

That is what Obamacare was really about - privatizing health care in the public sector so there would be more money for stealin' the children, land and votes.

If anyone is reading this, reach out and help her and her family, please.

This breaks my heart.

If you think we treat our veterans poorly, take a look at our retired officers of the peace.

'It so hurtful.' Retired Hamtramck police detective describes hundreds losing health insurance benefits

HAMTRAMCK, Mich. (WXYZ) — For the past 24 years, Detective Jacqueline Crachiola bravely put her life on the line in order to help keep city streets safe.

But, she says she recently learned about devastating cuts to the health insurance benefits of Hamtramck police and fire retirees.

“It so hurtful, and this is something I have to explain to my family now, just before the holidays,” says Jacqueline.

She adds, “Of all things, I read about it on Facebook, then got a letter from the city in late October.”

As of now, she says the changes are expected to take affect on January 1st. They are being implemented as a cost saving measure, and will represent nearly an 80% reduction in coverage.

Crachiola says a loop hole in their contracts is making the cuts possible.

We have reached out to the city manager for Hamtramck for comment but have not heard back yet.

“For so many of us, there are injuries and emotional pains from being in this line of work and we really need the help now,” says Crachiola.

Happy Hamtramck City Council Election Day - August 6th, 2019 - Go Vote

August 6, 2019 is the Hamtramck City Council Primary, where three are picked to proceed to the next round.

This should be a fun election to watch, as always.

I wonder if the Board of Elections Commission is going to post the vote tallies.

Hamtramck has a very *unique* manner in which its elections are conducted.

Happy Voting!
