Nowthen City Council Raises Homecare Workers Mount Its ...€¦ · 2016-07-26 · to pay union...

by Bryan Olson — Special to the Anoka County Record

An initiative sponsored by Nowthen city councilor Randy Bettinger early this year was approved on a 3-2 vote at the council’s July 12th meeting.

Proposed was a change to the city code that would raise council salaries by $100 a month to $400 for each council member and $500 for the mayor.

Voting for the ordinance (#2016-02) were Bettinger and council members Jim Scheffler and Paul Reighard. Council member Mary Rainville and mayor Jeff Pilon voted against.

Bettinger proposed that a flat monthly per diem salary would be beneficial to the staff, as bookkeeping would be reduced. The effect would streamline the payroll and the annual budget item for council salaries would be a known fixed figure.

The ordinance reads, “the per diem (salaries) shall cover the Council (members’) attendance at City Council meetings, City Council Workshops, Council liasion, other meetings, mileage and meals.”

At earlier meetings (see Record, April 5, 2016), Bettinger gave the figures for past council expenditures: $27,982 in 2012; $33,574 in 2013; $18,462 in 2014; and $24,506 in 2015. The figures included salaries and reimbursements for mileage and outside meetings.

Several times over the months this change was discussed, councilor Mary Rainville described Bettinger’s proposal as “a punitive measure” against council members who wish to attend outside meetings and conferences such as those held by the League of Minnesota Cities. She saw the $100 per month increase in council salaries as a benefit to council members who do not attend outside conferences, meetings and trainings, and a penalty to council members who do.

“It compensates council members who are absent from city council meetings and city council workshops,” Rainville stated, and any commission meetings where a council member is a liaison to that commission but doesn’t attend. She also reminded the council that commission meetings are not necessarily held every month.

The new ordinance tightens up reimbursements to council members: "The City Council shall be eligible for a per diem reimbursement of educational tuition fees

for accredited meetings and trainings. Whenever possible, Councilmembers are encouraged to obtain pre-approval to attend additional meetings and trainings in which they are requesting education tuition reimbursement expenses."

Rainville asked Bettinger at the July 7th “workshop” meeting what he meant by “accredited.” He answered, “that would be up to the city council — it’s their decision.” What that criteria may be, “is totally up to the city council.”

Mayor Pilon agreed that the criteria for reimbursement needed to be clarified, and said that Bettinger’s statement that the matter “has been kicked down the road for too long”, is a result of Bettinger not clarifying or modifying his proposal with each presentation at council meetings.

Rainville pointed out that the trainings and conferences that a council member is likely to attend do not offer continuing education college credits and she didn’t understand why the word “accredited” was in the new language.

During the July 12th meeting, Rainville said she would prefer to put the matter off for discussion during the upcoming budget meetings (for 2017) of

Nowthen City Council Raises Its Salaries But Rolls Back Reimbursements

By Tom Steward | Center of the American Experiment

The Service Employees International Union that won the biggest public employee labor election in Minnesota history in 2014 now faces a statewide desertification campaign aimed at eliminating collective bargaining for 27,000 personal care assistants.

A group of PCAs today launched a drive to collect the required 9,000 signatures to force a follow-up election, reigniting one of the state's most controversial political issues of recent years.

A 2013 state law designates Minnesota home care workers as public employees subject to collective bargaining because they receive a Medicaid subsidy to care for family members and others with special needs. Homecare workers who join the union pay three percent of their gross wages to SEIU Healthcare Minnesota for dues.

"The SEIU has just done nothing for PCAs. They're taking advantage of us, and it's just not right," said Kris Greene, a Lakeville homecare worker who cares for her special needs daughter and leads the campaign.

"They don't take care of our loved ones three percent of the time, why should they be entitled to three percent of our money?".

SEIU Healthcare Minnesota got off to a rocky start in July 2015. Several personal care assistants complained to SEIU about dues being deducted from their paychecks even though they did not knowingly join the union. Others contend most employers already pay more than the minimum hourly wage SEIU representatives negotiated with the state.

""The Union provides no genuine services to PCAs and the Legislature and Federal Government fund these benefits, so the Union is a parasite in this situation and should be removed," said Doug Seaton, an Edina attorney involved in the campaign through the firm of Seaton, Peters and Revnew.

Union red tape has also proved to be unpopular with many agencies and care recipients that employ PCAs. Some agencies report a massive movement of homecare workers from the PCA Choice program that allows union membership to another program that does not.

"I can't think of one of my clients that are actually positive about what the union is doing," said Scott Price, who manages his daughter's support staff and serves as a consultant to other care recipients. "They said 'I don't want to have anything to do with them, they can't help me, I don't want them around.'"

It's not clear how many homecare workers are dues-paying union members and how much they contribute to SEIU's coffers. While the Supreme Court has ruled the caregivers can no longer be compelled to pay union dues or fair share fees, thousands of Minnesotans were enrolled by signing cards that authorized the 2014 election.

But union opponents face a tall hurdle in gathering signatures from 30 percent of the 27,000 personal care assistants in order to trigger an election. Their plan calls for a grassroots campaign that reaches out to homecare workers by mail, phone and online. Many PCAs work largely on their own and have unpredictable hours. A designated website--MNPCA.org--generates election authorization cards that must be received by the Minnesota Bureau of Mediation Services by a December 2 deadline.

"We will support the Minnesota PCAs every way we can, including logistical and communications help and making sure the national media is aware of this outrageous situation," said Matt Patterson,

the city council, since Bettinger said the measure was a money-saving concept. Pilon agreed, however the council voted to pass the ordinance changes. The salary raises and reimbursement changes will not go into effect until January 2017.

Rainville offered a motion to take this discussion to future budget meetings, however this was defeated. She then asked Bettinger, “since you say your motive is to save money,” would he would

support “a motion to move our two supervisory positions to salary?,” adding, “this would save much more money.” No action was taken on this point.

City councilor Paul Reighard said the council member asking for reimbursement should be made to make a report to the council as to what was gleaned from the meeting attended in order for the council to judge whether the expenditure had value to the city and its taxpayers.

A lot has been happening around the Capitol since my last update. Here is some information I would like to share with you about that:

Special Session Possible

Last Friday, negotiations between Gov. Dayton and legislative leaders regarding a possible special session restarted. It’s unfortunate we’re in this position, but as you know, the regular session adjourned in late May, but left a great deal of work unfinished for Minnesotans, including a tax bill – which included some really good provisions, such as a student loan tax credit, and increases to the working family and child and dependent care credits – a bonding bill, and a comprehensive transportation package. All parties involved – myself included – understand the urgency of wrapping up business like this, but a final conclusion is going to require give-and-take from all sides.

The tax bill passed both bodies of the Legislature during session, but was vetoed due to a $100 million error. We should easily be able to easily reconsider this in a special session. The bonding bill may require some more work, but I think we should be able to get to an agreement there, too.

These opportunities are too big to miss out on again, so I’m hopeful we can put election year posturing aside and get this work done. It appears any special session likely won’t happen until mid-August at the earliest. I’m more hopeful now than a few weeks ago that we can reach a compromise and get this done.

State Budget

Good news came earlier last week from Minnesota Management and Budget. Fiscal Year 2016 concluded on June 30, and revenues exceeded the amount from the February budget forecast by $230 million. While economic growth has slowed a bit, our economy is still in a solid position, and hopefully we will be entering the 2017 session with another sizable budget surplus.

This means that with economic uncertainty we need to fiscally judicious, but we should be using this situation as an opportunity to make key investments in the things that help out all Minnesotans, such as education, job creation, and transportation. I look forward to more discussions about this as we approach January.

New Laws

July 1 is the start of Minnesota’s Fiscal Year. As a result, many state programs will receive continued funding or increases for vital state services. August 1st is the day many new policy provisions become law.

A summary of selected new laws that took effect July 1, 2016, can be accessed at http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hinfo/leginfo/0716nlrelease.pdf

A complete summary of all laws passed by the 2016 Legislature is available online from the House Public Information Services Office at http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/newlaws/#/search/2016

Laine: Special Session & Budget Update

Things are looking more optimistic regarding a possible special session. Recently, negotiations between Governor Dayton and House/Senate Leadership seem to have progressed in a positive direction, and I am presently optimistic that we will have a special session in the near future.

I sincerely hope that the House, Senate, and Governor Dayton can come to a compromise. I especially hope that Governor Dayton will stop playing partisan games, and pass/sign our tax bill (the most bipartisan tax bill on 30 years), which was passed by both the House and Senate during session, without attaching his spending demands onto the bonding bill.

Passing the bipartisan bonding/transportation

package, which passed the House with a super-majority, is essential to the wellbeing of our district. The following projects, which I introduced in the House, were included in the Bonding bill:

-$3.3 million in additional grant funding for the City of Champlin for the Champlin Mill Pond project.

-$11.9 in bond allocations for the Hanson Boulevard/ Highway 78 rail road overpass in Coon Rapids.

-$30 million for lane expansion on Highway 10 from Hanson Boulevard to Round Lake Boulevard, and beyond.

In addition to these projects that were included in the bonding/transportation proposal passed by the House during session, I also carried a bill that would have allocated $11.2 million in trunk highway bonds to build an interchange at Highway 169 and 101st Avenue in Brooklyn Park. I will continue to push for this project next session.

Uglem: Bonding & Transportation

executive director of the Center for Worker Freedom.

The unusual campaign has drawn both national and local backing, including Center of the American Experiment's Employee Freedom Project.

"SEIU spends millions of dollars from union dues on candidates and politics, in addition to lobbying the Legislature. For example, in 2015 SEIU Health Care MN spent

about $80,000 a year lobbying the Legislature. That is money that could be going directly to the disabled and their families," said Kim Crockett, vice president of Center of the American Experiment and director of the Employee Freedom Project.

SEIU Healthcare Minnesota had not commented on the desertification effort as of this writing.

S I N C E 2 0 1 1

July 22, 2016Quote of the Week: “He’s still not sure if he’ll vote for Trump in November, saying he assumes Clinton will easily win the state and that his vote probably won’t matter.”- Star Tribune, writing of Minnesota National Delegate Andy Aplikowski

“You’re on fire! You’re on fire, stupid!”- Cleveland police officer to a flag burning protester

OBSERVATIONS FROM CLEVELANDAs this issue goes to press, the GOP family is wrapping up the national convention and heading home to do battle with Democrats in every state, county, and precinct in the country.

Overall, the convention exceeded expectations, even if only because the bar was set fairly low.

There was no anarchy, whether on the street or in the convention hall, even if some people on both sides of the front door showed that they are of minimal talent and character.

On one side, a couple of America-hating clowns self-nominated for the annual Darwin Award by failing to properly set fire to our National Colors by also setting one their own on fire.

Don’t ask these guys to start your grill or fire place. It’s apparently a complex task for them.

On the other side of the door, two men, one at the top of the GOP team and the other towards the bottom, displayed poor judgement, a lack of leadership, and a general display of morale-busting defeatism quite ill-suited for both their positions within the party and the situation.

The guy at the bottom of whom we speak is Andy Aplikowski, who is well known to our readers as the ill-tempered and ill-mannered author of an unpopular blog, the state Senate candidate who lost a GOP primary to Jim Abeler, and an attention seeker who never misses an opportunity to put a bad face on the GOP.

So let’s parse for a moment the above quote:

He’s not sure he will vote for the Republican-endorsed candidate for president;

He assumes Hilary Clinton will “easily” win Minnesota;

His vote won’t matter.

Some readers may conclude that these statements aren’t outrageous as they likely reflect what some Minnesotans, including some Republicans, think about how our state will fare in November.

But that thinking entirely misses the point.

The point is all about leadership and leadership positions.

Aplikowski made the quote in his role as a Minnesota delegate to the Republican national convention.

The delegation is supposed to comprise the “best of the best” of Minnesota Republicans.

The delegation is supposed to represent

our most talented, passionate, and visionary leaders.

Ask yourself if those comments reflect the words of a leader.

Leaders are supposed to be the ones who boost morale, set the example in difficult circumstances, and display a “never say die” attitude.

The Navy SEAL creed states in part, “I am never out of the fight!”

Can you imagine Vince Lombardi walking into the locker room and telling his team they will likely lose?

Could you imagine a combat leader in Afghanistan telling his troops that the upcoming mission will likely fail and therefore their efforts on the field of battle won’t matter?

Can you imagine the CEO of a young start-up telling his employees that they can’t take on the legacy companies in their field?

There was no bigger optimist in American politics than Ronald Reagan. Reagan was a great president in large part precisely because he believed America was always in the fight and he made every American believe it.

How can the thousands of loyal party activists get motivated to make calls, knock on doors, put up lawn signs, and march in parades when our own leaders express doubt and pessimism?

It’s July and already one leader has declared defeat.

If this is the attitude and outlook of Minnesota’s party leaders, we are doomed.

What an embarrassment.

But Aplikowski shouldn’t despair. He’s not the only one who displayed a lack of leadership in Cleveland.

Ted Cruz did much to embarrass himself and show his true colors.

As readers know, Cruz pointedly failed to endorse Donald Trump during his speech, thereby undercutting the party, undercutting the party’s nominated candidate, and working against the very purpose of the convention itself.

Again, the role of the person at issue is the point.

There are many Republicans in the “never Trump” camp, even some prominent leaders.

The difference is that these leaders had the class and the maturity to stay away from Cleveland and not make a scene that became a distraction.

Not Ted Cruz. He came to Cleveland, took the speaking slot, took the spotlight, and proceeded to torpedo the party’s nominee and otherwise make things all about him.

While a big ego is certainly a prerequisite for running for president, Cruz showed that his ego and self-centeredness has totally crowded out any altruistic reasons he may have in running for president.

It’s almost unbelievable that a man in his position, a sitting Senator, a strong presidential contender, a party leader supported by millions, would show up and urge the faithful to “vote their conscience,” which is a clear slap in the face to the man who beat him for the nomination.

In doing such, Cruz revealed himself to be a venal, small, petty man more interested in self-aggrandizement than the common good.

His prime-time speaking slot was offered for the sole purpose of uniting the party behind the one man who can beat Hillary Clinton in November.

He ignored that obligation in favor of an attempt to boost his own standing with movement conservatives and position himself favorably for the future.

The good news is that Cruz’s jackass performance has vaporized any chance he had of being a legitimate presidential candidate in 2020 or any other year.

If you can’t support the process and the team, it’s hypocritical to expect the team to support you down the road.

Lock her up!

This chant was a familiar refrain throughout the convention as delegates expressed their opinion that Hillary Rodham Clinton be imprisoned for her failure to properly handle classified information as it transited her home-brew email server in the basement of her New York mansion.

It’s been amusing to watch liberals freak out as they decry the chants and the attempt to “silence” Hillary. “This is what dictatorships do,” they whine.

Of course, this refrain intentionally and artfully confuses the issue.

“Lock her up!” refers to her behavior regarding the email issue and has nothing to do with her right to free speech as a candidate.

Indeed, dictatorships lock up political opponents. But democracies allow average citizens to speak out against the political elites.

It is a sign of a healthy democracy that concerned citizens can speak out against political elites who are above the law and operate under a different set of rules.

Moreover, it’s a sign of healthy democracy when citizens demand that the rule of law prevail and that the bedrock principle of “equality under law” be enforced.

Democracies have one set of laws for all citizens, regardless of their station. Banana Republics ignore the rule of law and allow their elites to operate above the law.

Thus, we say to our liberal friends: LOCK HER UP!
