    This guy was dirty and got a slap on the wrist, unfortunately his partner was dirtier and didn’t play for the 49 er’s.

    I guess the worst part about this whole thing for me was the fact I had to go through the Wersching agency to get the safety group discount for my WC risks. My take on them was there complete lack of professionalism and product knowledge for an agency with the production numbers being posted. I guess crooks don’t have to be totally smart.
