State Senate committee delays insurance bills - al.com

State Senate committee delays insurance bills - al.com: "MONTGOMERY — A Senate committee Wednesday held off debate on a trio of insurance bills after companies requested public hearings.

That caused some grumbling from Mobile area senators who said that the insurers gave no indication of their intentions during discussions Tuesday evening.

'I don't think it's really opposition,' said state Sen. Bobby Denton, D-Muscle Shoals, chairman of the Senate Banking and Finance Committee. 'I think it's people who don't understand a few things, who are trying to take care of their people, and all that.'"
