A spokesman for Rhode Island Gov. Donald L. Carcieri said yesterday the governor was pleased with the failure of a legislative effort to limit his ability to reform the state-sponsored workers' compensation insurer--scandal-scarred Beacon Mutual.
The governor "is pleased the House thwarted the Senate attempt to remove public oversight over Beacon," said administration spokesman Jeff Neal.
Gov. Carcieri, a Republican, had blasted the Democratic-controlled Senate earlier this month when it rushed through approval of several bills, including language to require Senate advice and consent for appointments to the Beacon board, and another he called a veiled attempt to enable existing board members to remain as directors after their appointments expire.
