In a post last September, State Farm Agents are Fighting State Farm for Economic Survival, I wrote:
"Again, for many different reasons, I hope McCarty and State Farm can work out a deal."
Maybe this song reflects how many of us felt about the contention between State Farm and Florida’s Office of Insurance Regulation, and how many of us feel we should resolve our differences:
