STATEMENT OF GOVERNOR HALEY BARBOUR

On Commissioner Dale's Agreement with State Farm

“This is great news. Commissioner Dale’s action should allow hundreds if not thousands of Mississippi homeowners to receive insurance payments from State Farm after these claims are readjusted. Everyone’s goal should be to get as much money as possible into the hands of as many people as possible so they can continue to rebuild; this agreement is another way to do that.”
