		Two weeks ago, Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine -- who, by virtue of his post, is also the state fire marshal -- was stripped of his permit to use emergency lights and sirens on his state-issued car after a GBI investigation concluded that he had repeatedly used the equipment for non-emergency purposes.
		Oxendine's favorite media draws are church fires, and one of the most bizarre episodes of his camera-hogging involved the arrest of a church arson suspect at a rural house.
		Oxendine claimed that his lights and siren were on because he was "responding" to a hazardous materials alarm at the offices of the Department of Insurance.

	Augusta Georgia: opinion@ugusta: Oxendine's loophole 6/14/97
		Even if John Oxendine were the best insurance commissioner Georgia has ever had, his record would be sullied by the fact that he has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign money from insurance executives.
		But that hasn't stopped Oxendine from exploiting the loophole that allows insurance firm employees as individuals, and their families, to contribute.
		Oxendine, with some justification, argues that the heavy-handed rate freeze left some insurance companies in bad financial shape and others ready to sue or leave the state.

		Oxendine charged Waterhouse with selling “bogus” insurance and all 155 of his taxi-company customers, and hundreds of drivers, were told to stop serving their riders until other coverage was purchased.
		Oxendine told the press the Waterhouses netted $3 million in premiums from their “scam.” According to Waterhouse, the Commissioner was looking at gross receipts without deducting for claims, adjusting fees and his business expenses which included paying premium taxes to the Georgia Insurance Department on a quarterly basis.
		Oxendine also said the largest claim the Waterhouses had to pay was $25,000 and their “bogus” operation was exposed when larger claims were made which they couldn’t pay, seemingly contradicting his own assertion that the Waterhouses were rolling in dough.

		Oxendine, who in July rescinded his earlier approval of the merger, on Tuesday said in a statement that he would review recent developments in California, where Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi (D) on Tuesday announced that he would drop his opposition to the merger, after the companies offered a $265 million financial deal to the state.
		Oxendine said he rejected the merger proposal in July because he "felt like Georgia citizens deserved better," adding that his staff is "deciding what the appropriate action should be." He said, "There will be sweetening in Georgia." Anthem spokesperson Ed West said the company would not comment on ongoing negotiations with state regulators.
		Ivy Oxendine is not one of the 32 Blue Cross executives who are expected to receive bonuses averaging $425,000 if the merger is approved.

		Oxendine said the money was returned to its proper place when he discovered the move may have been against campaign rules and before a complaint was filed with the ethics commission.
		Oxendine and other campaign officials testified the expenses were legitimate, although the disclosure forms lacked space for a detailed explanation.

		Oxendine, on the other hand, views the ruling as no more than "a slight delay" and has filed for an immediate, expedited appeal.
		According to Oxendine, the Minnesota-based insurer had attempted to nonrenew the medical malpractice policies and switch them for unregulated surplus lines policies, which would allow the company to double its premiums without state authorization.
		Oxendine, however, contends that St. Paul's attempt to either pull out of the market or to move their policies to surplus lines was illegal and without state approval.

		The back story, as reported in the AJC, is that when it came time in 2002 for an arson inspector in Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine's office to replace his 1993 state-issued car, the commissioner came up with the brilliant idea of giving the inspector his own 2-year-old car and getting himself a new vehicle.
		As is his style when it comes to public funds, Oxendine pulled out all the stops: a top-of-the-line Crown Victoria with a $633 CD player, $700 leather seats and an $832 "pursuit suspension" package so he can pretend he's Kojak.
		The report by Inspector General James Sehorn, which accuses Oxendine of "blatant disregard for established authority," is probably causing a stink in GOP circles because it attacks a fellow Republican, but facts this obvious are hard to ignore.
