There were no catastrophic insurance claims made in Florida in 2006, but catastrophic premiums were paid. Will Floridians receive a reduction in premiums in 2008 since few claims were made in 2006?
When our property insurance company left Florida last year, it was able to maintain the policies it had on automobiles here in Florida. Why are insurance companies able to profit from automobile insurance, and not share the risk on property insurance?
What does this have to do with my running for Membership on the Seminole City Council? If insurance premiums remain high, and/or continue to grow, the face of Seminole will be very different in five years. In fact, the faces of Seminole will be very different. Look around now. Will your neighbors and friends still be here . . . indeed, will you still be able to afford to live here in Seminole?
What can you do personally, and what can I do about this as a Council Member in Seminole? We need to communicate the gravity of this situation, through personal examples here in local Seminole, to our representation in Tallahassee, where the problems can be addressed. We need to express our needs and await solutions from the people who can make those changes.
We need to exchange ideas and formulate strategies. This affects our today and tomorrow in Seminole. We must all contribute to solving this problem. Please communicate your ideas and suggestions to me through my web site. In turn, I will pass them on to your State of Florida representation.
