Five percent of $4000 is $200. Better than a 5% increase, that makes a $400 savings. I can use that. I run the NYPD's No-fault fraud unit and take pride in these reductions some say that we would never see any reductions. My gas, electric, taxes and mortgage have not gone down only up, NEVER down. We have made 1/3 of New York States fraud arrests for the past three years and we claim responsibility for these reductions. Five percent this year maybe five next, some companies have dropped as low as 12% in one year. We're working toward that 30%. Meanwhile we need residents to show elected officials that this is a great concern of their respective constituncies. We need juries to convict and we need the D.A.s offices to be more proactive. Many other things such as recent court rulings and coordinated industry efforts are gradually shutting down the no-fault fraud business in NY so that lower rates can be achieved.
