re: Louisiana Legislature repeals law blocking homeowner’s insurance cancellations
Posted by LSUFanHouston on 5/1/24 at 6:14 pm
I don’t see how this change will bring in new market competitors, which is the only way we get at least some more availability. We are a massive risk.
As much as I despise this thought, I’m really starting to wonder if this problem can be solved by the private sector. The private sector exists t...

What would seem fair to me would be to say, ok, this is how much tax dollars were earned in the area, subtract the value of services rec'd, and they are owed the rest.

There's certainly "better" map options out there, but the reality is they are still not going to be terribly concise, becuase the black population is too spread out.

Ted James seems to recognize the black community and culture have issues.
However, he blames all of these problems on whitey, and believes only whitey's money, along with a lot of affirmative action, will solve these issues.
His politics are closer to the Squad than anything. ...

This will get tossed. It's crazy to me how this was not a 7-0 vote. The three who voted against this clearly don't care about the law.
I do believe they will find a judge in the middle district to try to block the ISD from forming if/when it comes to that. It will be overruled on appeal.

2021 accepted no issue.
