50% of California homeowners are under insured
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The California Board of Equalization, the state's tax collector, held a hearing over concerns about lower revenues to finance state operations stemming from wildfires. Long recoveries deny the state many forms of revenue as people struggle to rebuild. The Board heard some big surprises. It turns out that what your homeowners insurance company told you was enough to replace your home is based on a big lie. The California Board of Equalization called in experts and learned that 50%, fully a half of California homeowners, are underinsured. Why? Insurance companies set your premium by computer algorithms telling you what coverage you need to buy to rebuild your home. "Everything we know is that people do want to buy enough. They think they have bought enough. And they only learn that they're wrong after they've lost everything," said law professor Kevin Kline with the California School of Law. Kline is one of the nation's most respected insurance analysts who recently reviewed 62,000 claims. "The data allows me to isolate what the algorithm is producing as an estimate of adequate coverage to reconstruct a home. That estimate was low about 95% of the time and by, on average, by half. And, big shocker, it comes in far lower than reality," said Kline. "These software programs, their defaults are, you know, building a tract home development in a flat area, when a lot of these areas don't have those characteristics," said Amy Bach, director of consumer advocacy group United Policyholders. "They're wrong and they're not just wrong. They're misleading. That's why I believe we don't need any new legislation. There's a Business Code, 17.200, that prevents fraud from being engaged in business," said Matt Everson, Co-Founder of BW Builders in Santa Rosa. Despite this, insurers want to expand use of algorithms to price people down to their specific home. "Underinsurance is the silent thief of irreparable financial harm," said multi-line, multi- company insurance agent David Shaffer. He says the way to fix this is for California to create an accurate universal rate calculator that all insurance sellers must use. Market competition will change when we're all competing with the same building limit to begin with,"said the agent. An insurance executive was scheduled to testify but did not show, preferring to send the Board a letter. Rates keep climbing and you're paying for it.

Cambria County man accused of inappropriately messaging minors on Snapchat
CAMBRIA COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — A Loretto man is facing felony charges after he was accused of sending inappropriate photos and messages to two minors. Kevin Kline, 50, was named in a ChildLine report after a 12-year-old said she was sexually assaulted and had been asked for nude photos by Kline, according to a criminal complaint. On Jan. 17, Pennsylvania State Police were informed of an alleged situation that was taking place that involved two minors and inappropriate contact. In an interview, a 12-year-old said that Kline had added her on Snapchat and had allegedly asked her for nude photos and asked if she wanted to see nude photos of him. Officers said that the minor told them that his alleged behavior was 'totally creeping her out' and that he had also tried to get her to come over to his home while no one else was there. Huntingdon County man sentenced to over 16 years in prison for creating child porn In an interview with a second alleged victim, a 15-year-old told officers that Kline had also been requesting nude photos from her and that he had sent an inappropriate photo to her. She added that on one occasion, he asked her to touch his genitals and exposed himself to her, according to the affidavit. Both minors claimed that Kline offered them alcohol on multiple occasions. Police noted that the minors turned over photos of messages between themselves and Kline that showed him asking them for inappropriate photos. On Feb. 25, Kline was interviewed by officers and admitted to having an account and 'justified contacting the girls on Snapchat,' according to the affidavit. He told officers that he never requested explicit photos from the minors, but that he did send them shirtless photos that were 'harmless.' According to troopers, as the interview continued, Kline then allegedly admitted that if he sent explicit photos, it was after a night out when alcohol got the best of him. He also denied touching any of the minors inappropriately and said that if they had touched him, 'he was either sleeping or doesn't remember,' police wrote. Kline is in the Cambria County Prison with bail set at 10% of $25,000. He is facing felony charges of corruption of minors, unlawful contact with a minor and photographing, videotaping, depicting on computer or filming sexual acts and knowingly permitting a child to do so. He's also facing misdemeanor charges of indecent assault and furnishing liquor to a minor. A Preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 4. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
