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".
