Insurance commissioner candidate speaks at Rotary

Chris Merideth, center, was the guest speaker of the Kingfi sher Rotary Club last week. Pictured with Kingfi sher Rotarians Darcy Jech and Jenny Nusz, Merideth is currently running as a Republican to be the next Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner. He told Rotarians and guests that insurance premiums have gotten out of hand in terms of ever-rising costs in Oklahoma and his opinion was that transparency and a common sense approach to dealing with the problems were key elements to bringing rates down. Nusz, an insurance agent in Kingfi sher, arranged for the presentation. Jech is also a Kingfi sher insurance company owner and agent, as well as Oklahoma’s state senator for this district.
