All you guys that are here today need to tell your friends, and get them to come to the next meeting. |
I believe the Legislature is going to look at that. The fact that the assessments are out there will force the Legislature to look at what they can do to reduce Citizens' exposure. |
I've got some more questions for the board. |
I've never been in a situation where I've had to make free throws with the game on the line ... but I wasn't nervous. |
It is unfortunate we have been unable to reach effective agreements like this in other lines. the PIP/no-fault sunset review of 2006 will be an opportunity. |
It just needs to be done. |
It makes me more adventurous in trying things. Some weird vegetable will come in my box and I won't know how to use it or what to do with it, so it'll make me look up recipes. |
It was a mistake on our part and unacceptable. |
It's a test we can't meet. |
It's all about following the views, and daylight. |
It's been very important to financing police pensions. I can tell you the Florida Legislature passed it and determined it to be good public policy. |
Let's get something going. A lot of people are getting upset because they've donated money, and it's been so long. |
Mitigation is the only way we can dramatically reduce the losses. Clearly the newer-built houses are standing up so much better, but most of the housing stock is pre-modern construction. |
Much of the losses experienced in Florida over the past two storm seasons were to homes built prior to the stricter building codes enacted in the wake of Hurricane Andrew back in 1992. However, there are hundreds of thousands of homes in the state that were constructed to lesser standards. |
Obviously rates are going up. That's what eight hurricanes will do to you. |
