I noticed in the paper today that the Press Register thinks the Pay as You Go is a good idea for Baldwin County.

One of the reasons given was that the road commission can ONLY use the INCREASED TAXES for the road projects currently listed  with the Pay as You Go plan.  SO…What are they going to do with all the $$$ that we are currently paying in taxes earmarked for road construction and maintenance ?  Lets see…. I wonder if they will ALLOCATE some of those TAX FUNDS to OTHER “non-road” projects.  I’ll bet they do….   Now lets see… They are going to REPAVE and Widen some… I guess that is so Orange Beach will have quick access up to the Highway 98 dead end ??  All this fancy dancing to make me feel good ?  Well after more than a quarter century living on this county maintained DIRT ROAD with ONLY ONE WAY OUT.. I still feel used and taken…   Too many GOOD OLE BOY Priorities going on here…  Everyone I have talked to over the past several days say NO WAY… NO MORE !   They are VOTING NO !

Kudos to Mr. and Mrs. King of East Perdido Beach for picking up trash in Soldier Creek.

WOW, my homeowners wind coverage rates just went up another ONE THOUSAND ($1000.00) dollars .

Alfa does it again !   That is a one thousand dollar increase since July 07….Smile….  Do you really think I am smiling ?  I bet those Insurance executives are smiling while they plan their profits celebration party ! 

I wonder when they will start laying the new sewage line down highway 97 ?  Of greater concern is WHERE they will be placing the first LIFT STATION.  I sure hope it is not down by the bridge.  That is all we need … another sewage spill into Soldiers creek.  I think there is enough cow “Stuff” and fertilizer washing into the creek now.  Anyone know where the first lift station will be ?  If it is near me, I want to sell…Smile

 ALDOI orders insurers to cease basing coverage on whether consumer has others policies with company.

Licensed property and casualty insurers that non-renewed policies on the condition of having other policies with the company must re-offer coverage to the consumers affected, according to a bulletin issued by the Alabama Insurance Commissioner Walter A. Bell. Also, insurers are directed to stop offering coverage on a single line such as property on the condition that they consumer also purchase another policy, such as a life or automobile policy. “These activities, we strongly believe, are prohibited by the Alabama Trade Practices Law,” Commissioner Bell said. “The law specifically says that inducements not specified in the policy are prohibited.” The practice was used by some insurers in 2007 to drop property insurance policies in Mobile and Baldwin counties in order to reduce hurricane exposure. This was accomplished by choosing a fixed date in the past as to determine whether a customer was a single-line customer or a multi-line customer. At least one company used this measure to decide which policyholders would be non-renewed. Under this method, single-line customers were non-renewed. “By this action we are taking, we are telling every insurer that has non-renewed a policy using this method to rescind the non-renewal and offer the consumer coverage again,” Commissioner Bell said.   “Furthermore, we are directing insurers to cease the marketing practice of making one line of insurance – that is difficult to obtain – available only on the condition of the purchase of another line.”  Insurers have been directed to cease the practices immediately and inform the Alabama Department of Insurance with in 10 days whether it has been engaged in such practices.
