Dunng the past 10 months, Rosenliel!I d Collis has "fou_ght" for the .rate roll• backs mandated by Proposition 103 and "collaborated" with Voter Revolt to im- plement the initiative's provision requir• · 11 g auto rates to be based primarily on drivmg record, rather than territory. "Conway's helped us reach out to the URJll community, one of the most im- ortant beneficiaries of 103," Rosenfield id, referring to a provision for grou au in. urance plans.
'When I'm elected, Californians will get what they voted for when they pass d tions in th United States," olli If elccte , Collis said he would lower auto insurance rates and implement a "full 20 percent 'good driver' discount,'' whil moving away from a temtorial rat• , ing tting system, as called for by Prop_o- ai 103: one of e toughest insurance regula 'Lookini;: Over My houlder' 'J v. o have consumers I ulder, and I want them the shoulders of t·ve ssioner who will com a me.' the os Angeles resident said Colhs aid he would shun campaig con• tribut,ons from msurance compames, their executives or trade associations dur• ng h,s campaign, and would continue that policy if elected.

Robert Fellmeth, director of the Cen- ter for Public Interest Law at the Univer· sity of San Diego p~dicte consumer and public interest advocates would back Zelman ifhe decides to run. In light of Rosenfield's endorsement of Col- lis, Fellmeth said, the consumer advocacy community would be split much as it was during the 1988 insurance reform ballot battle. Fellmeth said Rosenfield's support "is not Ralph Nader's endorsement." Na- der, perhaps he nation's best known con- sumer advocate, worked closely with Rosenfield to secure passage of Proposi- tion 103.

He added, "If Zelman announces, I ex- pect he would have the support of most of the consumer interest segment in the state. If that happens, a split will be there and that's a roblem." Zelman confirmed that he had appeared before Voter Revolt workers. "They had some really bitter feelings toward people who weren't wholeheartedly in their camp,·• he said.
