City retirees outraged by Emanuels bragging health care email

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

Retiree Carole Majeske said she was sickened by the mayor’s cavalier reply to an October 2015 email from venture capitalist Henry Feinberg.

“Since when did Rahm Emanuel let a judicial ruling get in his way and not find a creative work-around solution?” Feinberg wrote then.

Emanuel replied, “Never. Which is why I eliminated retiree health care. Only elected official to eliminate — not cut or reform — a benefit. Thank you very much. A $175 million saving!”

Majeske is a retired Chicago Police officer. Her husband is a retired laborer. They are among the roughly 10,000 city employees who started working for the city before April 1, 1986, and do not qualify for Medicare.

Thanks to Walt Kelly for reminding us what happens when we allow ourselves to think and act like the Evil Ones.
