Yeah, well...the QR code takes you to the TV station's website. Bummer. One of my son's had to short-sale his beautiful home because flood insurance increased to $8, 000 per year...from $2, 500. Another son is now facing foreclosure because of a gigantic hike in homeowner's insrance...and he's not in a flood zone. Louisiana politics...go figure.

My homeowner's insurance more than doubled last year. I still owe over $1500 and now my renewal is over $6500 for the upcoming year. Considering they denied our claims and underpaid us, they're robbing us.

City of New Orleans SAVING $38M EVERY YEAR by NOT HIRING ENOUGH OFFICERS. All this money going to City Mayor and Governor of Louisiana.
