Risk firms agree to cut at Kansas City meeting
A tentative settlement of the Missouri Stock Fire Insurance Company rate dispute was reached by fire insurance company reps and business leaders in Kansas City. The plan would restore old rates with a 10 percent cut, drop a 16.23 percent rate rise, and include a friendly supreme court test to define the Missouri insurance department's rate setting power. It requires ratification at the Chicago meeting and could prompt new fire protection laws at the next state legislature.
