Default California does some good!

Consumer Reports, last month or month before, ran an article about a study showing that auto
insurance companies were charging more for owners in minority neighborhoods than for owners in
'white' neighborhoods, even though the insurance risk was basically the same. Of course most of the
insurance companies either wouldn't respond or said they didn't penalize owners for being a
minority. In other words, they provided bull****.

California is taking some action based on the study and the CR report. Good on 'em. Nice to see
something good for a change. A couple Democrats in Congress have jumped on the bandwagon. I believe
it would be appropriate for some Republicans to do the same.
