Official aims
to lower rate
of insurance
AUSTIN (AP) — Insurance Com
missioner Jose Montemayor an
nounced a statewide push yesterday
to find cheaper rates for good drivers
living in areas typically overlooked
by insurers.
The crux of Montemayor’s cam
paign — “Good Rates for Good Dri
vers” — is a program that was es
tablished last year targeting drivers
living in areas the state identified as
underserved by insurers.
“There are many Texans out
there with good driving records un
necessarily paying more than their
fair share of the premium dollars,”
he said.
The Market Assistance Program
covers drivers in 382 ZIP codes
across Texas in both rural and urban
areas. Most are overwhelmingly
low-income and high minority re
gions, Montemayor said.
Some consumer groups have ac
cused the insurance industry of
redlining or racial discrimination of
customers.
The industry denies the charge
and Montemayor said the depart
ment’s investigations “haven’t turned
up a group insurance officials con
spiring to exclude somebody.”
“The insurance industry has
looked at it and don’t necessarily
find a problem with it,” Mon
temayor said. “I on the other hand
have studied this and am con
vinced that the truth lies some
where in between.’”
D.J. Powers, attorney for the Cen
ter of Economic Justice, said while
he is encouraged that the depart
ment recognizes a problem, it is not
enough.
The state should take a hard line
with insurance companies, he said.
“The data is unequivocal. In
surers in Texas are redlining,”
Power said.
Jerry Johns, president of the
Southwestern Insurance Informa
tion Service, denied the redlining
charge and said the industry sup
ports Montemayor’s efforts.

A comprehensive transporta

recycling program are other ini
tiatives Hurd intends to outline
in the address.
“I hope students will get ex
cited, because student govern
ment is going to be doing some
visible things to improve life on
campus,” he said. “I hope people
go away asking what they can do
to help make Texas A&M a better
university. ”

Mia Warner, a co-chair for the
Leaders in Freshman Engineering
(LIFE) and a junior chemical engi

to consider their interests and goals
from the beginning of their first se
mester at A&M.
“You never know what you
might do,” Warner said she advis
es freshmen to take academics se
riously at the same time keeping
their options open.
