		On October 10, 2005, Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm announced a comprehensive insurance reform package purportedly designed to address the rising cost of automobile and homeowners' insurance in Michigan, including an immediate 20 percent rollback in automobile and homeowners' rates and the prohibition of credit scoring.
		Although formal legislative bills have not yet been released, industry advocates are already lining up against Governor Granholm's proposed “reforms.” Many criticize the initiative as being politically motivated and submitted with an eye on Michigan's 2006 gubernatorial election.
		Others think the reform package will be counter-productive and ultimately serve to increase auto and homeowners' rates for Michigan consumers by creating a less competitive marketplace.
