County to issue bonds to fund pension plan
County commissioners vote to float about 11 million in bonds to keep the pension fund fully funded. Commissioner Steve Craig notes bonds will lower annual county payments from about 1.1 to 1.5 million into the fund, while borrowing at 4.5 percent with an expected 6.5 percent return. Taxpayers could save about 3.7 million over 25 years, with December bond approval anticipated.

Insurer counts drop 232 to 167 in 2017, and switching plans may force changes in doctors or drugs for chronic patients.
