On December 9, 2016, Steven Blackerby filed a suit on behalf of numerous retirees of the City of Waycross. The suit involves the City Commission’s decision to discontinue providing health insurance to retirees. The suit alleges that the retirees have a vested right to continue participating in the City’s Health Plan after retirement. On the same day that the suit was filed, the Ware County Superior Court entered an order that temporarily required the City to keep the plaintiffs on the Health Plan.
