Will Floridians pay?

 

Please keep an eye on the effect of Hurricane Sandy on insurance rates in Florida. I doubt that anyone in the other states pays the same amount that I have to pay for homeowners insurance and windstorm.

If my insurance company, USAA, tries to raise rates again because of its losses from Sandy in the Northeast, I will unquestionably be leaving Florida. It’s just not worth it anymore.

People on the East Coast should be paying the same for the same coverage, and I know that right now, this is not the case.

  • Contributing to undocumented immigrants’ low morale?

    Re the May 21 article Cutoff would leave many without legal status: How horrible we all should feel in contributing to the low morale of illegal immigrants. Had these criminals known of the impending cutoff date for amnesty I feel sure they would have committed their illegal act earlier. Shame on us!
