Well, dude, she shouldn't be single handedly trying to "Save us all." There were about 211 others that voted the way she did. If they have any damn pride, they should all be out hustling at least two more votes to switch over to alter the outcome. And, no I have no problem with APL. At least, she did her damn homework.
I wonder if he is trying to bill Judge Cannon for all the real estate she is taking up in his head? She is doing absolutely nothing improper, and he is ungluing nicely. Jack should prepare for a proper assblasting from Judge Cannon.
I'd recommend that you find a good independent agent (or broker) and get an array of quotes. The advantage of this approach is that you may run across a company or companies that are regional, and may provide a better value because they are prudent in regards to who and what they write. As for me, I would second the recommendation for Erie, if they write policies where you are at. I have been with them for over 30 years. shop my policies every two years, and have yet to beat them by any significant amount.
It probably boiled down to "Whatever's handy."
