I just can't believe that State Farm said this:


NEW YORK, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Claiming nearly half of southern Mississippi residents believe insurance executives are on a par with child molesters, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. said on Wednesday it's seeking a change of venue for lawsuits stemming from damage caused by Hurricane Katrina.

mark,
you know with the going rate for elections these days, with a few measly billion profit, you just cant afford to contibute to campaigns everywhere. If they were making real money instead of chump change, then it might be a different story. Wonder if they can get the thing moved to illinois. ha ha.

To funny Mark1, the story is suddenly "unavailable". Did State Farm already pull some strings?

I got it OK You have to copy and paste it in one line at time with no spaces for one long link.

Its funny if insurers were settling claims OK then why dont they want to defend themselves in front of those same people they say they settled claims OK for? They would rather go north in the state where only 12% of people had damage instead of having the trial where 88% of people had damage.

I wonder what kind of question was asked to get the answer that insurance companies are like child molestors?
