I misplaced a complete appraisal debate within the first couple of minutes towards Good ‘ole Steve Badger. Merely knocked out. Badger acquired up early within the morning and browse yesterday’s put up, Take part In Your Democracy—Even If You Are Known as a Bazooka. He should be taking some sort of mind-enhancing drug as a result of his creativity has by no means been keener. He devised a technique of baiting me into discussing a change he made to his slide deck. His first slide was the next:
I commented that Badger should actually have some private points if he thinks others view him as some fierce insurance coverage angel with ripped abs and a halo.
He then commented that that is higher than Florida’s insurance coverage commissioner calling me a “Bazooka” after which confirmed the viewers the next slide:
Growth! I used to be down on the bottom, and insurance coverage lawyer Matt Monson counted to 10 because the viewers roared.
On a extra critical notice, this may occasionally have been probably the most participating discussions and debates we have now had about appraisal as a result of a number of the individuals who made the examples we offered had been within the viewers and took part professionally of their view of these points.
Bob Norton had an all-star crew lined as much as current at this Insurance coverage Appraisal and Umpire Affiliation (IAUA) convention, together with Matt Monson, talking concerning the want and particulars of Louisiana’s new appraisal statute. My prediction is that extra states will begin to contemplate and go laws regarding appraisal.
My hat is off to the leaders of the IAUA for placing collectively such an informative convention.
Badger and I might be at it once more in his hometown of Dallas for the Windstorm Insurance coverage Convention. We might be talking concerning the hottest subjects of property insurance coverage regulation and the traits as we see them from the policyholder versus insurance coverage firm view. Here’s a hyperlink to register for that Convention.
I’ve a brief restoration time, however I promise to be ready and do higher representing policyholders within the subsequent debate. Our debate will characteristic an open bar for everyone to get into an open thoughts, prepared for participation and one other slugfest. You shouldn’t miss it.
