Here's a "correction" to the post entitled "Correction":
Though former Insurance Commissioner Jim Long started the fight against auto rate increases last year, it was Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin and his expert, independent staff ALONE that negotiated the roll back of rates to 2006 levels, froze them in place for a 5 year span through 2011, and then ordered $50 Million in refunds to more than 1 Million NC policyholders. Additionally, it was Goodwin's leadership that led to estimated savings for 4 Million policyholders of $545 Million. Our Insurance Commissioner saved us one-half BILLION $$ by his leadership since January.
So, it incorrect to state that Goodwin is merely "basking in the glow" ...Wayne Goodwin is a strong consumer advocate, who worked for Jim Long for 4 years and will continue that legacy of saving billions of dollars for NC consumers, homeowners, drivers, and business owners alike.
Wayne Goodwin Was Instrumental in Rate Cut
