YEP, time for this 'newspaper' to deliver more information on this...

Also, check out the conflict of interest for Martin Nesbitt and BCBSNC.

Is there more information the N&O may provide on this issue? Which lawmaker wrote the provision? What is the legal language? Its simply too convenient that a politically connected organization was able to have its competition excluded from an industry as a result of bureaucratic activities.

I would personally appreciate further analysis of this occurrence.

Moore asks AG to take second look at law

State Treasurer Richard Moore said today that he has asked the Attorney General's office to take a second look at a new law that has led to the "unintended consequence" of just one insurance company having access to the addresses of roughly 200,000 state and local retirees to sell supplemental insurance policies.

That firm, State Insurance Services of Raleigh, is a politically-connected company that includes two men who have raised money for Moore in previous election campaigns, and a third who is a fundraiser for him in his bid for governor, reports Dan Kane. Moore made his plans official today by filling out the necessary paperwork with the State Board of Elections.

"We've already asked them specifically to look at the address pieces to say are you sure we can't give out addresses to anybody that wants them or to a broader list of folks, and we await their answer," Moore said.
