In the September 24 article Drastic health insurance costs drive levy increase for county, it was incorrectly stated that the $300,000 hike in insurance for the county’s 110 employees is about the median for price hikes to most county health insurance plans this year. County Administrator Jeff Cadwell said Cook County’s increase is one of the largest in the Northeast Service Cooperative pool. However, Cadwell said the county’s monthly premiums are within the median of comparable health plans. The News-Herald apologizes for the error.
