[StBernard] LA Citizens Surcharge

[Westley Annis]

CA:
 
It was widely advertised/publicized that there would be surcharges attached
to each homeowner's policy to recover funds paid out by the LA Citizens
Plan.
 
There was a plan in the special session, I believe, to reimburse the
homeowner for this from the state.  I have no idea if that passed or not.
Anyone?

	I openend my homeowner's renewal notice last night and well, after
nearly
	having a heart attack I realized that I DID read the renewal amount
	correctly. My HO insurance is now double what it was last year. Not
only
	did Allstate go up over $1000 this year but I have over $700 in
surcharges
	from LA Citizens! Can someone tell me EXACTLY what the heck this is
for? I
	believe with the LRA Road to Nowhere and now these excessive
"surcharges"
	tacked on to our HO, that the state is trying to run everyone OUT of
	Louisiana. I received 4 months of rental assistance from FEMA (not
the
	state), SBA loan for new house (not from the state), flood policy
limits for
	damages to my flooded home (FEMA NOT the state) and 0 from
homeowners, to
	this day 0 on my state sales tax refund and after losing everything
	(including our jobs) we had we had to pay 500.00 in state income tax
for
	2005! We are now paying excessive amounts for electricity, gas,
fuel, food,
	property taxes, etc. What is going on - you can even buy a cheap
pair of
	shoes at Payless anymore (LOL)! So for 20 years I paid HO insurance
and
	flood, which I PAID FOR and yet the state comes in and is charging
us, each
	from what I understand, approximately 600 + in most cases a
surcharge!!!!!
	I dont know about anyone else but the state has NEVER given me
anything! I
	have never been on any type of assistance, WTF do I owe them
for????? What
	do ANY of us owe them this for? I'm just trying to put my life back
	together like most of us and now the state wants a cut????
