Insurance firms added to Texas election funding suit
Three losing Democratic candidates sued the Texas Association of Business over corporate contributions for ads supporting Republicans and attacking Democrats. Eight insurers and related firms were added as defendants, with potential more to come. A Travis County grand jury probes if corporate money violated state bans on campaign spending. The case follows a climate of rising homeowners insurance rates and malpractice costs.
