Capitol blame game on insurance costs

October 21, 2009 By WRN Contributor

If your car insurance hasn’t already gone up, it probably will soon. Car insurance rates are starting to “skyrocket” in Wisconsin, according to state Senate Minority Leader Scott Fitzgerald. The Juneau Republican says the budget bill passed by Democrats in June is to blame.

Madison Democrat Spencer Black questions whether the insurance industry is using state law changes as an EXCUSE to increase premiums.

Under the new budget, every driver is required to have insurance, and minimum coverage is increased significantly.
