DEMOCRATS FOR KEEPING MONEY OUT OF THE
POCKETS OF AUTO INSURANCE CONSUMERS
Madison – On Wednesday, Representative Michelle Litjens (R-Vinland), along with her
Republican colleagues, supported a measure that will keep more money in the pockets of
the drivers of Wisconsin. Unfortunately, the minority party voted to delay final passage
of the bill.
“Last session, former Governor Doyle and the now minority Democrats decided
that they were qualified to dictate what type of auto insurance the citizens of Wisconsin
should purchase. They obviously did not get the message from the election last
November. This bill would repeal this flawed idea and allows individuals to make their
own choices,” said Litjens.
In the last state budget, certain mandates were placed, by Democrats, on auto insurance in
Wisconsin that raised the cost of auto insurance by as much as 33 percent for Wisconsin
drivers.
“This is one of the reasons I ran for office. Wisconsin will go from having the
highest auto insurance liability requirements in the country to one of the lowest which
means lower premiums for all of us. Right now, we could use as much extra cash in our
pockets as we can get,” Litjens said.
The Democrats’ increased minimums regressively affected low and middle income
families all across the state, forcing families to pay for coverage that they didn’t need.
Litjens said “AB4 is one more bill I am supporting to create a better climate in
Wisconsin for consumers and companies.”
Representative Michelle Litjens represents Wisconsin’s 56th Assembly District and is
serving her first term in the State Assembly.
Looks like they got it right with AB4.
Thank You Representative Litjens
