Claims may not be reported because of loophole

Monday, March 9, 1998 | 2:13 a.m.

The law requires local and state governments to report annually on lawsuits and other claims made against them and money they've paid.

But the reports only require the disclosure if a payment is made in the same year the claim is filed.

Last year, the Washoe County Airport Authority and the city of Reno paid a combined $800,000 to settle two separate lawsuits, but the payments were not included in their annual reports because the suits were filed in previous years.
