And how much of the $500k will be actually be paid by the guilty parties, and how much will be paid for by innocent citizenry?
- protomyth 13y agoAll of it will be paid by taxpayers. The sad thing is the veil is far too hard to pierce for personal responsibility to be a factor in the day to day lives of public servants.
- imroot 13y agoActually, most if not all of it will be paid by the city's insurance company -- but the city will have to pay increased premiums (or find a new insurance provider) after it's done.
- protomyth 13y agoCheck the self insurance part of what the city has purchased. Most cities have a very large self insurance payout to keep the rates low.
