Let the Good Scams Roll
A few more points on the ongoing debate over the much-needed auto insurance reform in Massachusetts. From the Boston Herald:
Yeah, that's why the other 49 states can successfully manage having a free-market system operate within their borders, but in Massachusetts, it would "create chaos". We must be "special".
Sorry, I'm not buying it.
Oh, he has a plan. If maintaining the status quo, while readily accepting campaign contributions from those who benefit most from it, can be called a "plan".
As illustrated by all the hell that's been breaking loose across the nation over the last couple of decades. Is Reilly this delusional?
RUN!!! LOCUSTS!!! VOTE FOR ME! FOR THE CHILDREN!
Well, we already bend over backwards in this state to coddle the rapists, carjackers, illegal aliens, and illicit drug users, why would we want to discontinue this reckless driver welfare program?
But, it's the other 49 states who are doing it wrong. Yeah, right.
That which the government gives, the government can, and will, take away.
After years and years of shafting a vast majority of Bay State drivers, Reilly is suddenly pretending to give a shit about what the citizens of Massachusetts want.
Coincidentally, Reilly is planning a run for governor this year.
If anyone sees this as anything more than a vote-buying scheme cooked up by this statist prick, please enlighten me as to what constitutes reality on your planet.

BOSTON - Gov. Mitt Romney and Attorney General Tom Reilly sparred over auto insurance on Tuesday, with Reilly saying the governor's reform plan would create chaos for drivers...
Yeah, that's why the other 49 states can successfully manage having a free-market system operate within their borders, but in Massachusetts, it would "create chaos". We must be "special".
Sorry, I'm not buying it.
...and Romney accusing Reilly of failing as a leader because he had no plan of his own.
Oh, he has a plan. If maintaining the status quo, while readily accepting campaign contributions from those who benefit most from it, can be called a "plan".
"If that bill which has been proposed by the governor goes into effect, all hell will break loose in this state," Reilly said at a morning news conference.

Under the state's unique regulatory framework, the state Division of Insurance sets a baseline rate for all companies. Good drivers get credit for clean records, but they also subsidize bad drivers, resulting in rates that are higher than the national average.

The system has steadily driven auto insurers out of the state, leaving just 18 today.
But, it's the other 49 states who are doing it wrong. Yeah, right.
In his capacity as a regulator and the state's chief law enforcement officer, Reilly plays a role in the rate-setting process. He is currently seeking 18 percent lower premiums for next year, while insurers are seeking a 0.1 percent cut. That amounts to a $200 difference on the average premium, which is now $1,099.
