Pinnacol Critical of State Committee

Pinnacol Assurance is the state's largest insurer in the workers compensation field. It is also a hybrid company originally created by the state of Colorado. Over the years it seems to have done very well for itself. A few months ago it was in the news because state officials were interested in tapping its reserves to use in the state budget. Lately a legislative committee also focused on it with testimony from injured workers. In any event Pinnacol is clearly upset with the committee and it posted its criticism on its website noted here. Using words like clear bias, not balanced, partisan and that "some" call it a witch hunt in its criticism won't help the situation. Legislators are simply reacting to events and calls for reform.
