Pinnacol Has 3 New Board Members


The Denver Business Journal is reporting that 3 new people were voted onto the Pinnacol board by the legislature. One of them was highly critical of Pinnacol so it will be interesting to see what comes of this. Pinnacol Assurance is Colorado's largest workers comp insurer and has a long history. It was originally set up by the state and is a hybrid of public and private interests. Pinnacol wants more autonomy and yet many in the state legislature are upset with how it now operates. See for example one recent legislative effort in an article in the Denver Post. However Pinnacol does have points going for it. I have previously reported on this so this is just another entry in an ongoing story.
UPDATE: New Board votes to take away the CEO's bonus and in this article in the Denver Post more is discussed about Pinnacol.
