The real problem is that Citizens Property is insolvent. If a major storm hits Florida, there is not enough money to pay the expected claims.
Furthermore, the state can and most likely will raise your home and car insurance rates to generate this revenue if needed. On every carrier, private or public.
In fact, many homeowners in Florida are already subsidizing Citizens Property…
Florida Gov. Rick Scott joined fellow state executives for dinner at the White House Sunday night. Before the rib-eye steak or Maryland crab mac & cheese hit the plates, the first-term Republican served President Obama with a letter about corporate taxes.

Women have the power. They take their right to vote seriously and show up at the polls in greater numbers than men according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
In 2008, 60.4 percent of eligible female voters cast their vote versus 55.7% of eligible males. According to the same study, more women are registered to vote than men, 66.6 million versus 63.5 million. Maybe that’s why the “War on Women” has taken a front seat in this election…
