State Farm to pay GA motorists $250 Million

[brads@mindspring.com (Brad Sheridan)]

  I will have to check this out! I filed a claim on my scirocco within the
right time period, and I was a state farm customer in GA. It looks like the
settlement will give a decent amount per customer too. I just recently got
a class action lawsuit settlement check from Chase Manhattan for $0.86. One
more settlement check like that, and I am going to retire....
