I'm not sure where you got the $100 number: the last one I saw was the the *initial* goal for the law was $200/month, but the legislature balked at a number of chances to meet this goal, opting instead for the goal of an average policy cost of $300/month. I'm not sure I can afford to live in this state with a second car payment. How legislators are seeing fit to pat themselves on the back, calling this "a good piece of legislation" is beyond me. It's really a free handout to the insurance companies. No wonder the state's losing residents. And, of course, Mitt won't call this a tax like it is, because he doesn't want to look like a "tax and spend Massachusetts liberal."
