Good, but he'll probably do an Alario and run for the House. The point is we don't vote these frickers out fast enough.

While I’m not happy with it, my premium is about $800 for the year for my pickup.

Have an old beast that’s in rough shape and about to be replaced. Was thinking of keeping it around for trips to the dog park, hauling junk you don’t want in a new car etc... but it makes absolutely no sense at the insurance cost

you act like this is something new. It isn't.
and quite frankly, frick the Advocate. Why didn't this story (op/ed) run while the session was ongoing? These frickers show up after everyone goes home to address these "ills" but they weren't doing shite about it when it could've been addressed. They are as feckless as the politicians.

What was the bill?
From a different article:
quote:
House Bill 372 addressing costs passed the house floor with a 69-30 vote.
River Ridge representative Kirk Talbot proposed the bill which creates the Omnibus Premium Reduction Act of 2019.
The bill addresses some of the factors that go into Louisiana having the highest insurance rates in the country.
When asked if this bill would benefit drivers, local attorney Glen Armentor said, “No, it is worse for everyone.”
The abstract of the bill that just passed the house floor addresses four points. The bill proposes to increase the time in which you can file a lawsuit from one year to two. Second, the bill would reduce the threshold for a jury trial to $5,000. The current threshold is set at $50,000. The proposed bill would also reduce damages for amounts paid from collateral sources. Lastly, it would repeal the right of direct action against an insurer.
Armentor says there is no specific language or guarantee that rates will drop.

If we really want to lower insurance premiums, we cannot simply focus on Tort reform
1. Tort Reform
2. impound uninsured vehicles when they are involved in a wreck
3. impound the vehicle of anyone with multiple DUI's

That’s what happens when you play the R&D game. You blame the governor for bills that never made it to his desk but continue to vote the other party in which kills the bills you complain about.

They also can’t allocate $2 million for drainage so EBR can get $225 million in matching federal funds.

That tort reform bill wouldn't have done jack shite to lower auto insurance premiums.

So should we just say the hell with it and allow people to sue for God aweful amounts of money for frivolous shite??? That seems brilliant

I'm glad to see others pay a lot too. I thought I was just getting ripped off. I pay $365 a month for three vehicles.
