Boone County looks at early retirement to save money

Fairness?  Can you offer this benefit to one employee and not to another with similar age and seniority?  You can’t just offer it to employees whose slot is eliminated or who is replaced with a lower priced worker.  It may work at counties with large number of workers but Boone County is too small.  Look at the numbers -- I question if there will be any real savings, no less one that which help the deficit.

Boone County may offer early-retirement incentives to employees to help erase a projected $1.5 million budget shortfall in 2011.
