Mayor Mike Duggan
There's no debating this: Detroiters pay ridiculously high car insurance rates. In fact, rates are so prohibitive that some folks simply drive without insurance, and some opt to stay in the burbs rather than deal with the rates.
Well, Mayor Mike Duggan pledged Friday to make lower rates happen, Bill Laitner of the Detroit Free Press reports.
More than a year after Duggan first proposed creating low-cost car insurance for Detroiters, he suddenly announced before an audience of nearly 800 at Cobo Center that he'd "roll it out next week."
Duggan spoke at today's Big Four luncheon, the 16th annual gathering of business and community leaders who support revitalizing 8 Mile Road. Amid a wide-ranging discussion of regional issues, which veered into citing the high cost of vehicle insurance statewide, Duggan cited his plan but gave no details.
