Are you kidding? This is news? Cincinnati is about to go in the tank, because of Fifth Third Bank. Old Republic already IS in the tank. (note Great West, Bituminous and a couple of others are a part of that group) Philadelphia sold!

Liberty and Traveler's continue to be strong - or any other carrier owned by a foreign parent. Our agency is watching cautiously to see who will have their doors open to new business in 2009.
