Are you able to retire at age 50 or 52 with 25 years of service? Are you able to get retiree healthcare at no cost? Are you able to get 90% of your salary as pension? Most people will say no to these questions since this kind of high cost legacy has been eliminated. Not in Bloomfield Township. Police and fire employees and retirees have lucrative contracts that are too expensive to continue.
Contract negotiations for 2020 will begin soon. Better Bloomfield Township wants citizen participation in the planning for these meetings.
