Senator Don White Issues Statement on Nomination of Joel Ario for Insurance Commissioner

State Senator Don White, Chairman of the Senate Banking and Insurance Committee, issued the following statement in response to Governor Rendell’s nomination of Joel Ario to serve as Pennsylvania’s Insurance Commissioner.

"I would like to welcome Mr. Ario to Pennsylvania and extend my appreciation to the Governor for his efforts to fill this important position, especially during this critical time. We have a number of significant issues at hand, such as the impending merger of Highmark and Independence Blue Cross.

"As Chairman of the Banking and Insurance Committee, I am committed to ensuring that we undertake and perform the due diligence required to be certain that Mr. Ario is qualified and capable of addressing the many complex issues associated with all aspects of the insurance industry in Pennsylvania.

"I also look forward to gathering input, information, comments, questions and concerns from the members of the Banking and Insurance Committee and from all members of the Senate. I sincerely hope that Mr. Ario's views and vision for the Insurance Department are similar to those held by my colleagues."
