[Mpls] Automobile Insurance Reform

[WLDJ36 at aol.com]

There has been some discussion of this list regarding pay-at-the-pump  
automobile insurance reform. Two bills that would otherwise significantly reform  
Minnesota automobile insurance law were defeated in the Senate Commerce  
Committee today. I bring this to the Minneapolis forum because I know from my  former 
work that Minnesota is a high price auto insurance state and Minneapolis  is 
the highest priced territory in the state. To again keep this local, we need  
to discuss ways to reduceMinneapolis premiums such as, discouraging  speeding 
and red light running, encouraging police investigations of hit and run  
vehicle damage accidents, encouraging folks to secure their cars with "The Club"  
or other such locking devices or taking the time to park the car in the garage, 
 etc. Here is the Star Tribune link to the defeated insurance bills story:
