Councilman Carter Todd has a bill headed to the council [1] — in the midst of votes on a property tax increase — that proposes to end the practice of subsidizing council members' health care benefits for life, something he says costs Metro taxpayers about $300,000 a year. Todd says he doesn't believe the bill will pass. Do you think it should pass or is that a benefit council members should receive? Do you think it has a chance of a passing?
