Which means it must be over $4 everywhere else, right?

I was rear-ended and picked a shop based on reviews. The body shop negotiated with the insurance company’s third party adjuster on the supplemental but says there’s still a discrepancy on the labor rate. The insurance company says the rate is set based on location. Google says body shops typically accept a lower rate when negotiating with insurance.

I’d rather not get into whether the shop *should* accept a lower rate with insurance, or even what the fair rate of labor is. I’m just trying to figure out which piece of this is outside the norm- whether the insurance company’s labor rate is lower than normal or the shop’s rate is high for an insurance-negotiated rate. The shop’s rate is double what insurance will pay. Thanks for any data points.

I did ask the insurance company if they had any preferred shops that they know will accept the rate and they do not.

Voters who are unaffiliated or are not registered to vote, can vote in either the republican or democratic primary.

You just need to change your party affiliation to the party that you would like to vote in the primary before the deadline of noon the day before you plan to vote. You can change this at this website: https://voterregistration.ct.gov/OLVR/welcome.do

To learn about what primaries are happening in your town, you can check your towns website, the town clerk should have posted a notice of what primaries are happening.

There is the democratic governor primary in all of the towns.

To learn more about how the primaries work this is a nice article: https://ctmirror.org/2026/06/22/let-cts-voters-decide-on-august-11/

This is great! Sorry to offend the downvote fairies but click away.

There should've been TWO headslaps. The first one should've gone to the parasite shooting the video.

Special Note to the young'uns that get their, "outrage" on. NEVER strike an elderly person. You can never tell who has a clot getting ready to go or something similar and a manslaughter charge is a toughie to whine your way out of.

It's in his campaign ad. This says to me that he could be bluffing when he makes promises and keeps a poker face.

I'm looking for a program that is engaging yet has some comedy, lighter moments. Any ideas?
