Obama’s 2013 budget plan includes higher air passenger fees
The 2013 budget plan proposed by the Obama administration calls for a rise in passenger security fees at airlines, with a goal of collecting as much as $25.5 billion in additional passenger fees over the next 10 years. Airlines have expressed disapproval at the proposed fee increase, citing possible job cuts. The budget request also proposes a bill that would boost transportation spending to $476 billion over six years as well as a $1 billion budget for hardware upgrades at the Federal Aviation Administration.

Nice additional coverage for motorcycle owners: Trip Interruption Coverage
Next time your motorcycle insurance comes up for renewal, call me and ask about Trip Interruption coverage.
Basically, it pays for your temporary living expenses and transportation when
your motorcycle breaks down or is disabled due to a claim and you are 100 miles or more from your home. And the nice thing, it costs only $5 a year.
The company we use provides coverage if your bike is disabled due to a covered claim or a mechanical breakdown. (many other insurance companies don’t cover mechanical breakdowns!)
An example would be: If you are over 100 miles from your primary residence, you’ll receive up to $100 a day for lodging, $50 a day for meals, and $50 a day for alternative transportation all that up to $500 total per occurrence.
Pretty good deal for people that travel on their motorcycles.
