Self-insuring plan backs bill amid mixed debate
The debate over self-insuring the state for fire losses features a busy Insurance Commissioner with limited rate authority, while advocates doubt the excuse. Proponents argue long-term savings could exceed a half million dollars, though a single major fire could wipe out decade’s premiums. Some fear initial years may revert to premium payments. Tulie Speight calls for impeachment of the state superintendent over teaching methods, but Assembly members dismiss the motion. Clarence Stone and Gideon Boswood tie for education bill honors with nine votes each, Stone’s in statewide scope, Boswood’s limited to Currituck.
