Is This a Fair Summarization?

Thus sayeth the JS Online blog

The lobbying numbers also preview one of the biggest fights in the fall session of the Legislature: The no-holds-barred battle between papermakers, who want insurance contract laws rewritten to make their past insurance companies pay more to clean up PCB pollution in the Fox River, and the insurance industry.


Is it a fair summarization of the nature of the battle between insurance companies and the paper mills to say "...battle between papermakers, who want insurance contract laws rewritten to make their past insurance companies pay more...".

What are the arguments both sides make? IIRC Kevin from Lakeshore Laments (and correct me if wrong, Kevin) stated on Lakeshore Laments this is essentially correct; the paper companies are trying to retroactively change the rules.

The little bit of googling I have done so far seems to be rather slim pickings.
