A Montana supreme court order directs officials to justify halting under the invalidated state Insurance act. Daniel W. Witzpatrick of Missoula filed suit after a March 15 move by two board members to approve a new years-long contract with Years Assurance Co. The deal uses $11,617.49 of unearned premiums paid by counties and districts toward a policy for the state with a $9,989,636 premium, stirring opposition from county and district officials over funds now diverted from local pockets. The suit cites Missouri County policies and argues the board had no right to divert county premiums for the state’s benefit. Continued on Page 12.
