Attorney General Rebukes State Insurance Board over Insolvent Firm
Austin June 17 The Attorney General John Ben Shepperd sharply criticized the State Insurance Commission for handling the General American Casualty Company insolvency. He said the case was dumped on his office and criticized political involvement by gubernatorial candidate Ralph Yarborough. The AG noted his department must oversee liquidation and receiver appointment, while the commission handled the initial investigation. The firm blamed Yarborough for hastening insolvency, which Shepperd rejected as politics in business.
