8/8/04 Insurance contract raises questions |
|
WARREN — Trumbull County commissioners looked at only one quote before renewing a $520,000-a-year insurance contract this year that would not pay a dime if a deputy wrecked a brand-new car. However, a nonprofit insurance authority used by most counties in Ohio was discouraged from providing a quote, its administrator said, in part by the county’s insistence on iron-clad coverage — despite the fact that the county’s current policy provides much less coverage. As a result, taxpayers bought an insurance policy that would be unlikely to cover damages if a tree fell on a county building or a courthouse customer tripped and fell. Nothing under $50,000 is covered. This story won second for government reporting at the 2005 Ohio SPJ awards. For complete story, visit www.vindy.com. |
