Insurance Cases End in Kansas Settlement Talk
Federal Judge Pollock dismissed suits by 150 fire insurers against Kansas over a 1922 rate cut. The settlement returns about half the impounded money to property owners and pays the remainder to insurers, reducing the rate effect to about 3 percent. Debate centers on who gains from the compromise and whether officials overstepped. The Kansas Supreme Court and federal courts earlier upheld the order, while the U.S. Supreme Court refused review.
