SEATTLE--Washington State Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler said he believes that the National Association of Insurance Commissioners should consider giving large states more voting power.

Mr. Kriedler, speaking here yesterday during the closing session of the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America's annual meeting, said he was in favor of a proportional voting system for more populous states.

"You can't have the Northern Marianas Islands with the same vote as the 19 million population of New York. It isn't reasonable," he remarked.
