less motorists ponder the future of their skyrocketing premiums but stoiiffville business people were given another view last week as expressed by a claims vicepres ident from allstate insurance and despite reassurances from the industry executive no solid bits of good news were gleaned from the meeting organized by the whitchurchstouffville chamber of commerce from all accounts outside the insurance industry nofault is going to be an administrative and legal nightmare others claim nofault policies will harm the very people the legis lation was originally drafted pro tect meanwhile several york region municipalities have decided they too oppose nofault as proposed at the provincial legislature top much rhetoric- on both sides of the issue and too few clear solid guidelines for the average person are available currently the nofault proposal is riddled with faults and we pay in the long run burning questions never answered some random thoughts and ques tions that have occurred in recent days regarding local politics who will be fran salisburys successor on council should she cop the provincial liberal nomina tion in markham riding what does fran have her sights set on nothing less than the envi ronment portfolio we hope also are the provincial tories serious about cleaning up their act is their huge party deficit a sign of their governing abilities who exactly
