On this mand auto insurance initiative, would Steve Poizner like to get a minimum wage job, and show the world how he would come up with the several thousand dollars needed for some insurance policies?

If a household gets insurance for the safe driver in the household, can the high risk members (teenagers and DUI convictions) still "borrow the car" and drive without insurance? (not be listed on the policy).

If you will go to www.foodstampstudy.com, you will see that Santa Fe County, New Mexico had a food stamp skyrocket in January and February of 1985. I will bet you, Steve, that the 1984 mand insurance law caused this skyrocket (New Mexico renewed registrations in Jan and Feb.

Also, Steve, if your initiative increases the nrs on food stamps (those eligible can't buy food and go on food stamps), you are required by law to state this increase in expenses of the DPHHS in the fiscal note. If you do not, you will be in violation of the law, and maybe we should take away your car, license,etc.

So, Steve, will your initiative increase the nrs of people on food stamps. Remember, if it does, you are breaking the law if you do not state such in the fiscal note. tks
