Gold vetoes hikes in North Carolina insurance rates
Insurance Commissioner Charles F. Gold blocked requests totaling over five million dollars for extended coverage and fire insurance rate increases. The proposals would have doubled dwelling rates and raised other class rates by up to 50 percent, with farm deductions to be reworked. The North Carolina Fire Insurance Rating Bureau led the bid, while opponents included Farm Bureau groups and insurance agents. Gold argued the plan violated rate making principles and state law on farm dwelling discrimination.
