At the Commissioners’ work session on Wednesday, Beaver County Controller Maria Longo brought forth a plan for the Board to consider in regards to their insurance plan.

The current plan that the Courthouse is using, according to Longo, has been largely unused for the last several years, and that the County could have saved $1.5 million by covering their own insurance expenses over the last seven years.

“Looking back [at the numbers]–the risk is low, not that many people use it, and we buy this every year,” Longo commented. “So I would like for you to consider that and the savings for the county as we move forward.”

The Commissioners provided no further comment on the considerations at the work session.
