Great excerpt from Peter Stern of Dripping Springs in answer to an article he read in the Austin American Statesman.

• Since Year 2000 Perry continued to promise to help homeowners regarding their high taxes; however, during the past six years property taxes have sky-rocketed up to 400 percent in some districts
• Perry promised to help Texas homeowners with high insurance costs; however, two years ago home insurance premiums doubled overnight
• When the home insurance premiums doubled, the governor and [at that time] Texas Insurance Commissioner Jose Montemayor and currently Commissioner Mike Geeslin promised to force the insurance industry to reimburse homeowners at least 10 percent of the recent 100 percent jump in costs --- err --- has anyone gotten a refund check back from an insurance company?
