In Galveston on Thursday Stewart hailed a court decision as a people’s victory. He argued drivers with accidents should bear more losses while traffic violations should not penalize insurers. He urged adoption of a Canadian preferred risk plan with no violation penalties. Stewart blamed uninsured drivers for rising rates, citing 73.6 percent of reported accidents involve uninsured motorists. He proposed a motorist fee to fund unsatisfied judgments, akin to New Jersey.

Lubbock planners consider post office site rezoning to C-3 with conditions including screening, lighting and trash containment while approving R-2 duplex zoning on four lots and resisting pure spot zoning. Other motions tie votes on C-4 commercial along Nashville and on M-1 industrial blocks with mixed homeowner opposition. A request for three signs on a professional building gains approval.
