KLC Fires Insurance Director
KENTUCKY....
After being under fire for more than a year, the Kentucky League of Cities has fired William Hamilton, director of insurance services. Hamilton is the third executive to leave the League. Executive Director Sylvia Lovely resigned in August and Acting Executive Director Neil Hackworth announced in May that he will retire at the end of the year. An investigation by State Auditor Crit Luallen released in December found that Hamilton had several conflicts of interest with Tennessee-based Collins & Co., including that he and his wife rented office space in Georgetown to the business and that the Hamiltons accepted several Caribbean trips from Collins' chief executive. Collins & Co. was paid $6.6 million over three years for its work processing insurance claims for KLC. Bowling Green Mayor Elaine Walker, who will assume the one-year presidency in September, says the executive board felt a need for change.
