Recently, the most talked-about subject among New York's independent insurance agents and brokers have been the three public hearings the state Insurance Department and attorney general's office held in July to address the issue of producer compensation and disclosure.

While representatives of the producer community performed admirably as they delivered their testimony, the line of questioning they faced was another story. Check out the impression I and others felt were left behind by the hearing panelists by clicking here.
