Oregon lawmakers to consider quake insurance needs

A state task force will be formed in the Oregon Senate to
consider whether to form an earthquake insurance provider modelled
on California's publicly managed, privately funded carrier.
But the proposed task force will not be asked to consider how to
provide earthquake cover without setting up a state-run insurer
under an amendment to the measure, known as Senate Bill 109, that
is expected to be adopted by the committee working on the proposal
when it meets today.
Any move...
