By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor Welcome to another edition of the Acadiana Business Newsletter. On to today's headlines.... In recent months, hundreds of homeowners have installed fortified roofs. But as the state program starts to produce results, consumer advocates are asking whether Louisiana is doing enough to help customers land meaningful discounts, in turn building momentum for the program. Records obtained by The Times-Picayune and The Advocate show the discounts offered by Louisiana insurers vary widely. An analysis of the filings from some of the state’s top insurers show most offer a discount of between 15% and 30% on the wind and hail portion of the premium. That means the total premium would decrease by less, though in coastal areas, the wind and hail premium often comprises the vast majority of the policy. Read the full story here. Have a great day and thanks for reading. |
