—New York Insurance Superintendent James Wrynn, commenting on a new report that shows a 24 percent jump in insurance fraud convictions last year in the Empire State.

Safety Makes Gains

“We like to think it’s a combination of things.”

—Pennsylvania transportation department spokesman Steve Chizmar, commenting on a new report that says Pennsylvania highways saw the fewest fatalities – 1,256 people – since Model Ts roamed the roads.
