Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:25:23 GMT

State Farm, California's largest vehicle insurer, is raising rates for its 3.7 million policyholders now that many if not most of them are on the road again.Vehicle insurance premiums declined during the pandemic after I and others pointed out to the state Department of Insurance that rates no longer reflected the reality of cars sitting in driveways.Now Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara is approving rate increases in light of the pandemic easing and people returning to offices.Most recently he's given the green light for State Farm to raise premiums by a total $264 million, which translates to about $70 per policyholder.Insurers say the higher rates reflect the greater risk of most people being back on streets and freeways.But consumer advocates say this is price gouging, and that in many cases, higher premiums are unwarranted."These massive premiums increases have been approved even though most auto insurance companies have failed to fully repay their customers for windfall over...

Sequoia and Palo Alto played a marathon of marathon games, 19 innings stretched across almost six hours, with 13 players throwing 576 pitches during 158 plate appearances. The result Saturday was the most grueling 7-4 victory of Sequoia coach Mike Doyle’s career.“I’ve been involved in a few nine- or 10-inning games, but it was eight or nine innings longer than any game I’ve ever been a part of,” said Doyle, who has been with the Sequoia program for nearly a decade and played high school and college baseball in the Midwest in the 1980s. The game was longer than any at the MLB level in 2022 and six innings off the United States high school record, a 25-inning affair in 1975 between East Bay schools Hayward and San Lorenzo. When asked if he wanted to play seven more innings to break the record, Doyle was quick to answer.“No,” he told the Bay Area News Group with a laugh. “We had a great day, and 19 innings was enough.
