My introduction to a lot of new things has been through the web in recent days. I bought a new desk top computer when my local mega store ran a really great deal on one, and I thought it was time for me to join the computer age like the rest of the folks on earth. As soon as I got it home and got it all hooked up and ready to go, I was shopping and browsing on the net with ease. I got all kinds of deals. I even got introduced to the ease of getting a new philadelphia car insurance quote. If I had previously had any notion of how simple all this could be, I’d have done it long ago.

Kim Bowman, an aide to Sen. Hansen Clarke, D-Detroit, who is backing the proposal, said the "inability to do anything through the Legislature" on this issue is part of the reason he's moving ahead with a ballot strategy. Gov. Jennifer Granholm also has called for a 20 percent cut in car insurance rates.
Bowman said she could not comment on when petition circulation would begin, whether the coalition behind the proposal called Fair and Accountable Insurance Rates would hire a firm to collect signatures or how much money the group intends to raise for the petition drive.
More than 304,000 valid signatures are required, according to the Secretary of State's Office. The group has 180 days to collect signatures once it begins circulating the petition.
Insurance industry representatives oppose the initiative, calling the 20 percent reduction "arbitrary" and adding that any plan that cuts rates without cutting costs will cause hardship for insurers.
"This is an unrealistic proposal," said Pete Kuhnmuench, executive director of the Insurance Institute of Michigan.
