All broker's in the State of N.Y. can bid on all business presented to them M&M is not the only large house selling to the jumbo account(free trade)

What is Mr Spitzer refering to about this case surpressing the competativeness and limiting the insurnace buying public's ability to get fair prices. If company A is not within a range that they want to pay, well guess what, they will go to one of the other thousands of broker's out there. Each one of them eager to serve a new client.

Most broker's I know would do what they can to help increase the income of their company. This is just the way this industry has operated for over 100 years. Now Mr Spitzer feels it urpresses compatition. Let's get real.

I personally feel Mr. SPitzer is looking to cut out compatition come election time.
