State road diversions of money in programmes
Nearly 10 million collected by law to assist motorists, uninsured vehicles streets of South Carolina was clearly deviated and for other programmes of State for the last four years.
It is money for the police railways automobiles for law enforcement State insurance. A government under consideration this year, said the number of uninsured drivers to grow and has helped keep South Carolina’s auto insurance prices high.
“ If we had additional resources for staff of criminal prosecution authorities, we could get these people on the street,”Interim Public Safety Director Eddie Gunn said.
Instead, the money the state of resources of the General Fund, said Louise Majors, a State Budget and Control, spokesman Board.
Broadly speaking, the Fund may be used to pay for something only for legislators.
Messages outraged Charles West Columbia Wine Bush, said that South Carolina and other drivers pay as part of their automobile insurance bill should go where it is intended.
“ I find it appalling that we have since Putting this kind of money in the system to keep these people in the street, and it was not used as she said,”the 43 years, the driver said.
In early 1970, the legislature has decided that $ 1 on each auto insurance premium, you have the State Highway Department to ensure that the plates and registrations of uninsured vehicles were confiscated.
While the government restructuring in 1993, the legislature has diverted the money on the new Department of Public Safety, which is now also highways police.
More than $ 6.9 million in cash unversicherten motorists, which were conducted from 1993 to 1995, according to which the public insurance department. Add approximately $ 2.6 million for 1996 is based on the Council’s consideration, the number of insured vehicles this year.
Various estimates, about 10 vehicles in South Carolina is not assured, some 285000 in 1995 to about 150000 in the year 1974, the Legislative Audit Council said this year.
But some of the most recent estimates were as high as 450000 uninsured vehicles, the Council said.
If everyone had insurance, he could have said no less than $ 180 million additional premiums in 1994, which could reduce all other costs, the Council said.
An average driver South Carolina paid $ 676 for physical damage and liability policy in the years 1995, the latest figures available from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
“ We want to get what we are entitled,”a solution to the problem, “said Gunn.
In fact, it appears that Mr. Gunn-service is always money from the insurance service, but for some reason is not known, public safety was again the General Fund each year.
Nobody, including the commander of M. and M. Gunn, only in the Public Safety took over last summer, he seems to know why.
Former director of public safety Boykin Rose, was set on fire, Dir David Beasley last year not return a telephone consultation seeking comment.
Officials may not even know if the money went to the highway, before restructuring.
None of the nearly a dozen people contacted, including legislators and officials of the budget and control board and public safety and insurance departments, find all the records that the money had been followed.
The patrol has 49 guards, doing anything, but please read uninsured drivers. They examined the motorists on 60000 recent years, the Lord said Gunn, is a clear indication that they need more for the rider, which means “ memorandum detail.”
