Judge upholds full coverage by mutuals in Iowa
Judge Wade P. Clarke in Des Moines district court ruled that Washington Co Farmers Mutual and 81 other county mutuals may write full coverage without a $50 deductible for windstorm and hail. The Independent Insurance Agents had sought to force a deductible, arguing the reg under Commissioner William E. Timmons exceeded authority. County mutuals, founded a century ago, are self-governing and owned by member policyholders.
