Assemblyman Tangipa explained that the disconnect stems from Proposition 103, which kept rates low while rebuilding costs surged. He noted that recent adjustments are driving premiums up by $4,000 to $11,000 annually, making coverage unattainable for many. He also criticized California’s FAIR Plan, saying it serves insurance companies more than consumers. Following the meeting, Assemblyman Tangipa toured the area to witness local fuel reduction projects funded by CAL FIRE and community grants. Stops included the Pine Mountain Lake Airport, a vital asset for wildfire response.
