The city was ready to pay $400k. Or their insurance was, at least. Insurance was looking at it from the coldest perspective possible-- how much would it cost us to fix this otherwise?
- msmerberry 7y agoYup that's what I came here to say. It might have been easier to take a higher insurance premium and let it pay the ransom than to do a restore exercise. Either way, bravo.
