Governor cites disobedience over insurance bids plan
The governor accused Hiatt of ignoring positive instructions to alter insurance policy holders and pursue bids for state coverage. Civil service board members Gilmore, Trussler, and Graham, all appointed by ex governor Arn, were named. Hall hinted Gilmore’s firm handles part of the boiler insurance, suggesting possible motives for a meeting. Insurance has often been distributed without bids, despite Hiatt’s claim that bidding could save money.
