Today, the New York State Senate confirmed Governor Pataki’s appointment of Howard Mills as the new Superintendent of the New York State Insurance Department.  Mr. Mill’s has some big shoes to fill given that his predecessor, Gregory Serio, did an excellent job of, among other things, fighting fraud in the No-Fault Law.

Here is an article on Mr. Mills confirmation in The Insurance Journal (the article has a link to an audio interview with the Superintendent).  Here is the Department’s press release about the confirmation.
