I just got back from a day of lobbying in Albany with IIAA. Of course the big issue was if, or how, Spitzer was going to try to paint all company bonus arrangements with the same brush he used on Marsh.

One very intersting item popped up in our discussions. Marsh, and a few other mega brokers, are actually larger than many insurance companies. With their enormous size, these maga brokers could do almost anything they want in their relationships with carriers.
