From the transcript of the Connecticut House of Representatives - May 16, 2007:

"REP. GERAGOSIAN: (25^th)

Thank you for your, I thank the gentleman for his answers. I can't support this Bill as it is right now because we're taking a situation where the poorest of Connecticut's residents, people that may necessarily struggle to pay their auto insurance bills are having a significant increase in their costs.

While we're not looking at alternatives like not for profit auto insurance, this is a captive market. People do not have a choice of whether they have to buy auto insurance or not.

I realize it's been a time since an increase, but it's an increase that many of my constituents simply can't afford, so I urge the Chamber to reject this. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
