No mayor, have a parish president.
Knew the last one quite well.
Don’t know the current one as well but if current one saw me he would refer to me by name and what I do to ask a few questions.

Are private flood policies covered by the state if insurer goes belly up? Like homeowners?

Isn't that like saying furniture stores should be gone because we want to buy direct from the manufacturer.
1) it’s easier to see a car on the road than a dresser in someone else’s house
2) look at a company like Ashley. You can buy online. You can buy in their store. You can buy third party store.

The dealership system is a huge win for major auto makers and huge profit centers for them.
Then why do we need a state law in Louisiana forcing the dealer system?
Eventually AI is going to come for the sales process. The big reason why so many “need to go to dealership to fix car because exclusive tools” is because there needs to be a reason for people to still visit dealerships

They have their territories and limitation spelt out and their dealership agreement and Bowers is just trying to get an exception so he can be in a better location on a street with more traffic. The other two dealerships are merely asserting their rights that are spelled out in their dealership agreement.
Sounds like a contractual dispute between several parties
Now tell me, why is the State involved in this?

Who is Benson complaining to.....GM or the parish? And does her complaint have any legitimate reasoning?
The complaint is to the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Cimmission
quote:
Under state law, dealerships can challenge a new dealership if it is within 5 miles of their locations. Best Chevrolet’s location, at 2600 Veterans Blvd. in Kenner, is 4.8 miles from Bowers’ proposed new site. “This prime location would position MBC Metairie to intercept customers who currently patronize Best Chevrolet for sales and service,” Moisant wrote.
quote:
Moisant, in his objection, challenged the move on a couple of grounds. He argued that by helping a rival dealer move into Best Chevrolet’s established market territory, GM is favoring one franchisee over another and giving Bowers increased access to customers in the affluent 70002 and 70005 ZIP codes. Moisant also argued that having two Chevrolet dealerships on the same road would result in market confusion.

Absolutley. If you own a franchise of a major food chain, there are plenty of regulations about where you can locate.
That’s part of their contract, not government action. They could sue the company.
This is a company filed with a government regulator who I guess has to approve these things?

Benson vs Bowers shows insanity of car dealership business

Matt Bowers wants to move his Chevy Dealership (the old Bryan Chevrolet) from Airline near Kenner to the old KMart lot on Veterans near Lakeside Mall.
Gayle Benson has filed a complaint because this would mean more competition.
Here’s the funny thing. The current dealership is 2.6 miles from Benson’s place. This new location would be 4.8 miles away., so 2 miles further away.. but on Veterans. The new spot has more traffic pass by than the old spot.
Banner Chevy is fighting also, saying this will also cut into his business.
I’ve never purchased a vehicle from any of these three people. But the protectionism and entitlement in the dealership world is insane.
