Why is Alpha insurance dictating law?

So Bedford points his finger [again] and you believe him? Who’s dictating to who?
BTW, I’m not an ALFA customer [never have been], but I do appreciate their successful efforts in the defeat of Riley’s Amendment One. It flat out amazed me the same folks who voted it down voted him a second term.

This surprises you?
On another note, I am kindof glad the insurance companies are staying on top of these type issues. Do you think the large corporations are going to 'absorb' the extra cost associated with laws that affect them? Nope, they get passed on to us through higher premiums. So, they are actually looking out for us, probably more than the politicians.
The only problem I see here is that a certain politician made sure that, if he didnt get his way, nobody got their way. Kindof sounds like the kid on the playground that throws a fit when he doesnt get his way are ruins recess for everyone.

You are a 'sheeple'...they have spoon fed you so much that you now accept it as normal.
