State Farm
Katrina woes
Poor State Farm. First they Stoenwall the Katrina victims on the whether it was wind or water that wiped out homes in Missippi. Then they get spanked by a federal court judge. Then they cae in and settle for millions with a group of homeowners and decide to stop wwriting new policies in California. Altogether, a sad by predictable course of action.
