County employees shouldn't get free dental, exercise
I was shocked when I read Jake Griffin's column of how Lake County pays it's employees with tax money to exercise and even go to the dentist.
(Do the county's employees hate the dentist that much?)
Obviously, the person who thought of this idea never considered that taxpayers would like to use their own money for the same purpose; join a recreational team, go to exercise class, buy a bicycle, etc.
As for going to the dentist, the free toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss should be payment enough!
