State Insurance Commissioner Race Unusually Heated
Posted on October 30th, 2010
The governor’s race is getting more attention, but the campaign for state insurance commissioner might have higher stakes, as federal health care reform barrels toward California. “From a pocketbook perspective, the insurance commissioner’s race has more of an impact on the daily lives of Californians than any other race,” said Doug Heller, director of Consumer Watchdog, a nonpartisan advocacy group in Santa Monica. “The insurance commissioner is often consumers’ first and only line of defense against the insurance industry.” The insurance industry has poured more than $4.5 million into the race, setting spending records for an office that rarely receives attention. Most of the money has gone to support Republican Mike Villines rather than Democrat Dave Jones, a Sacramento assemblyman. Read more…

Classic, antique, modified or just plain old?
Posted on October 24th, 2010
Is your special ride considered classic, antique, vintage, collectible, modified, or simply old? That depends on whom you talk to.
How old is old?
The Classic Car Club of America defines a classic car as one built between 1925 and 1948 that was fine and distinctive when new. The Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) considers any roadworthy car at least 25 years old to be eligible for judging at AACA National Meets. The state of Texas will register your car as an antique when it is 25 years old, while California doesn’t consider your car an antique until it is at least 39 years old. And some DMVs only offer antique status to a vehicle that is a collector car that is only used in parades, shows, and club events.
Confused yet?
Hot rods and modified cars only add to the confusion.

A Villines spokeswoman responded Wednesday that Jones may have his own conflicting allegiances if he is elected with support from labor unions and trial attorneys.
Both men are termed-out members of the state Assembly and are refusing direct contributions from insurance companies.
Over the weekend, however, insurance companies contributed $1.4 million to the California Chamber of Commerce JobsPAC, which is running the ads. T Read more…
