The governor's proposal guts long-standing protections for crash victims and benefits insurance companies at the expense of people harmed by negligent drivers. It would result in more denied claims, less accountability for dangerous driving, and increased blame placed on victims. It will shift financial responsibility from those responsible back onto victims. It does not prevent crashes, improve street safety or guarantee lower insurance premiums. Similar reforms in other states did not reduce insurance costs. Instead, injured pedestrians and cyclists will pay the price.

Forty-eight states in the U.S. allow at least one form of 'pay-to-stay' fees for incarcerated individuals, which often leads to long-term debt upon release.

Even companies that completely make their products in the U.S. from U.S.-made materials like Oveja Negra are having to layoff employees because foreign buyers no longer want U.S.-made goods.
