RPM, are you sure you want to start referencing the TMA?

Considering their website begs you to vote for 12?

You never even heard of Joe Nixon until opponents of this bill ran 30 second adds slamming him LOL

Fair enough.  Have fun negotiating with your or the tortfeasor's insurance company without legal representation.

Actually, I never heard of him until I started doing research(Haven't seen the commercial, sorry). I do not live in his district, so I would not have heard about him if not for Prop 12.

Fatty, I'm sure they are for 12. They are trying to cover their arse, but does that change Perry's position on making sure they get paid instead of ripped off by insurance companies? Gov. Perry is unequivically in the pocket of Big Insurance. Remember the whole Farmer's Insurance debacle a few months back?

I checked with my friends.

 They pay $600/month for 10 months - which makes it $6,000 a year  - for a decent private secular for-profit school (no extra source of income from religious institutions). They do have busses, etc.

 Other people I know friends pay only $350/month for a greek orthodox school (10-15 pupils per class) but you must be a greek orthodox (the prevalent religion among russians, BTW) to get there.

 I believe that per-pupil expense in a New York public school is around $10,000 a year.
