2) Mandated Subsidies [by Kurt Gallinger on February 14, 2007]
This is an example of the worst kind of pork-barrel legislation. If this bill were enacted it would misuse the law to deliver benefits to a very limited constituency at the expense of Michigan drivers and homeowners statewide. In short, drivers and homeowners in high-cost areas of the state would receive premium decreases paid for by premium increases to drivers and homeowners in low-cost areas of the state.

Senator Scott knows that would benefit her constituents, but most of the rest of the legislature would have plenty of splainin' to do with the rest of the voters in the state.

This is so blatant that even the freshmen will see the train wreck before they vote in favor of this bad idea.
