Hunt Rejects 17 Percent Homeowners Insurance Hike
MONTPELIER Vermont Banking and Insurance Commissioner James H. Hunt rejected a proposal by three New England rating bureaus to raise homeowners insurance premiums nearly 17 percent next month. He said a 10 percent increase would be fairer and announced his resignation to take a housing department consultant post in Washington. He urged a five year wait before any further raise and cited lack of competition and high commissions as concerns.
