Wisconsin Town Mutuals Told to Pay Dividends
Sixteen of Wisconsin's 128 rural town mutual fire insurers are in strong financial shape, the state insurance commissioner ordered to disclose this to policyholders. Harold Wilde urged dividend consideration now for some, with 18 more firms told to inform members dividends could be possible in the future. Three west central firms Fall Creek Mutual, Trempealeau County Mutual at Whitehall, and Farmington Mutual at Osceola were named to inform policyholders immediately. The measure marks Wisconsin's first action of its kind.
