Statement by Mayor-President Sid Edwards
Today's vote is a significant step toward strengthening our City-Parish's financial stability while ensuring we continue to provide quality healthcare for employees and retirees. I want to thank the Metropolitan Council for its decisive action and partnership in this effort. The $16 million in projected savings, combined with the ongoing Thrive EBR initiative, reflects our shared commitment to fiscal responsibility, employee and retiree well-being, and protecting taxpayer dollars. Together, we are taking meaningful action to secure the long-term sustainability of our healthcare program and the services our community depends on.
