“Manchin Angered by BrickStreet’s Out-of State Meeting”
When asked Monday about the Kentucky meeting, BrickStreet spokesman Andy Wessels said, “I don’t think we’re going to talk about this. I don’t think it’s a matter of public concern. I’m just not going to go into it. We’re a private company, and we intend to behave as a private company.”
Manchin said he doesn’t accept BrickStreet’s argument that it is a private company and, therefore, does not need to explain its activities. BrickStreet writes about $500 million in premiums a year. Manchin noted that BrickStreet received that franchise when the state created it.
What did Manchin expect? That the private corporation he created to take over the public workers’ compensation program wouldn’t act like a private corporation?
