Insurance companies say the passage of Referendum 67 will only raise rates for everyone statewide, including businesses that pay auto, property and liability premiums.  Advocates, on the other hand, say passing R-67 will protect consumers and businesses from unreasonable delays and denials of insurance claims.

How much do you pay for insurance every month? For most families, insurance for your home, car or business is a huge chunk of the monthly budget. After paying your insurance premiums year after year, you shouldn’t have to worry whether or not your insurance company will be there when you need them.

Dear Frank, The insurance industry has already spent $11.1 million to defeat R-67, apparently, a new state record. And yet, the race is still too close to call. I think you’ll agree that this suggests that given an even playing field, voters would approve R-67 by a comfortable margin.

I believe we have too many laws. My rule of thumb is a "no" vote on all referendums, measures, resolutions, and any other big word that means a new law or constitutional complication (aka taxes). I do have exceptions regarding Referendum 67.
