Media Madness

Due to Ohio's strong Homerule law, the insurance industry is forced to use the media to errantly tarnish our reputation, deter business and intimidate local officials. The insurance industry has resorted to providing our local media with copies of claims to ignite the media madness. The media has all of the "ink" and heavily funded by insurance marketing dollars. It is unfortunate, but some actually "buy" their stories and as a result communities and elected officials succumb to their attacks which again unfairly places the financial burden of negligence on the backs of their taxpayers.

Searching For A Story?

Would anyone in the media care to investigate why the insurance industry is pocketing legally mandated insurance premiums AND our tax dollars while our public safety is in jeopardy?

Fair Is Fair

The insurance industry lobbied and won legislation forcing drivers to have insurance based upon the premise that they would cover the costs of direct and proximate damage caused by their negligent drivers.
Why then do some in the insurance industry believe that innocent, hardworking taxpayers should pick up the tab for safety services provided to their negligent drivers?
Insurance won the right to guaranteed premium dollars. It is only FAIR that they share in the cost of providing services to their policyholders!

Cox Media should Apologize to Springfield Citizens

Yet, again cox media has resorted to slanted reporting. We understand the intense pressure Cox must be under considering they must answer to their advertisers, such as the insurance industry. However, their alliance with the insurance industry is doing the exact opposite of "watching tax dollars", it is shifting the financial burden from insurance providers to the backs of innocent taxpayers. Since Cox News, chose not to print my statement, I have provided it here. Josh, Your analysis is completely incorrect and any statement regarding CRC "over billing" is completely false, and misleading. Prior to publicly maligning our reputation and further impeding of business perhaps you should consider the facts. The fact that modification of charges for CRC's services was a communication between the former Fire Chief and Dr. Terry Henley of CRC. Unfortunately, that information was not passed on to the current Chief. Only three (3) claims were paid under the modification and payment was received only by insurance companies, not by drivers. This was a necessary modification and was to be easily rectified by updating the contract. CRC's aggregate for the City of Springfield was less than 4% prior to the modification. If in fact the City halts this program, it places an unfair tax burden on the hardworking, innocent citizens of Springfield and allows the insurance industry another financial "bailout".
