Governor Doyle's Car Insurance Proposal

By Frank Pasternak, Esq.

In 1995, insurance companies in the Wisconsin Insurance Alliance conned state legislators and the governor into believing that if they change the law Wisconsin citizens would pay less in car insurance rates. Well, the bill became law, Wisconsin citizens lost many rights they had, and car insurance rates never went up.

Now recall Insurance Company Tricks and my recent Car Insurance post.

The Governor's bill simply reverses the insurance companies' 1995 nonsense and raises car insurance limits from the 25-year-old $25,000 minimum to $100,000. Who's looking out for you? It's not Wisconsin?s property and casualty insurers. In this case, it is absolutely Governor Doyle!

Contact your legislator and let him or her know that you SUPPORT Governor Doyle's Truth in Auto Insurance Law.
