Lower insurance rates may come with lower PPC rating in Bowie
By BARBARA GREEN
The City of Bowie has received its official notification of its new Public Protection Classification from the State Fire Marshal’s Office with the new Class 2 rating going into effect on Jan. 1, 2018.
City fire officials were told of the new rating back in July, but the effective date was not known until the formal notification. It is estimated the change in rating could bring up to an 8.5 percent decrease in premium costs.
According to Jesse Williams, deputy state fire marshal and PPC oversight officer, Bowie will move from its present Class 3 to Class 2. This change came after an April 24 survey of the city fire services, equipment and water system.

The following indictments were filed with the 97th District Clerk following the November session of the Montague County Grand Jury.
There were a total of 13 indictments with one sealed awaiting the arrest of a suspect.
A grand jury indictment is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
