National Leader In Use Of Highway Camera Data Employs Former Rep. Wayne Pettigrew

Wayne Pettigrew, former Oklahoma House member, is the National Marketing & Government Relations director for the nation's leading firm in administering data on vehicle insurance data gathered using controversial highway cameras, the firm's website discloses.

Here's Pettigrew's pedigree from InsureNet:

Mr. Pettigrew has twenty-six years experience in insurance marketing as a former regional pension specialist for Prudential Insurance Company and national insurance brokerage owner. He currently serves on the board of a domestic regional insurance company in which he is part owner. Mr. Pettigrew also served ten years in the Oklahoma House of Representatives including four as Assistant Minority Leader. He owns a governmental consulting firm specializing in state legislative issues.

Mr. Pettigrew will coordinate national marketing and legislative lobbying efforts for InsureNet, Inc. These services will include: organization and management of research, lobbying and media/public relations initiatives; review of bill/code language; and support of presentations, RFI/RFP responses, and meetings with legislators and State or governmental officials.


From a business website reporting on the firm's efforts in Arkansas: Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry is interested in InsureNet technology, too. The company wants to put up 220 cameras at sites picked by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. The company would keep 30 percent of each $250 fine.

"After getting about your second ticket, you'd keep your insurance current," said InsureNet spokesman Wayne Pettigrew, a former Oklahoma legislator.


It's reported InsureNet has landed administration duties in other states as a "single source provider," or the only firm qualified to do so.
