My New Blog

     Another year without storm activity. Of course the insurance companies consider this to be unusual and want to raise rates " to have enough reserves to cover when the big one comes". Never mind the fact that the state underwrites the reinsurance pool to mitigate losses, or that carriers are retreating from all coastal counties. I want to see either a national catastrophy pool, or the elimination of the Florida only loophole that was created back in the 90's.

     In other words, I'd like to see our duly elected officials grow a pair and do something for the people for a change instead of bowing down to the bigger campaign donators. And while they're at it, reform the sales tax, get rid of the unneccessary exemptions and lower or eliminate the property tax on homesteads. I know I'm far from alone on this issue.

     Enough diatribe, for the people who follow my ramblings, have a merry holiday season!
