Maybe spend some time reading the posts rather than the room? I'll say it one more time. We have major insurance carriers leaving the state because of frivilous lawsuits/claims and extreme requirements for minimum coverage. The requirements for coverage are driven by the state legislature directly and that same group has not moved to curb frivilous lawsuits/claims from storm chasers.

Tim, Down here the news folks try to sensationalize and basically scare the beejesus out of the folks that never lived through one for days on end. I especially like it when they roll up their sleeves like man they are doing some manual labor. Another good one is when they are bracing themselves and barely can stand against a 20 mile an hour wind.

Then why are you responding to me? There's no question he has a role here. He's the leader of the state and his part has control of the entirety of the legislature. It's clear he has influence over the state senate and house.

Yeah, Ive lived thru blizzards and hurricanes --give me a blizzard any day and everyday over a hurricane. I was in Charleston when Irma passed Fla and we had pretty bad weather 500 miles away --but it was the trying to protect my house (that in 2018, flooded from a freak July thunderstorm) from Hurricane Florence -- I surrounded my post flooded and rehabbed house with water tubes and waited and worried and waited and worried and waited and waited ---so effing tormenting --
If one is paying even the smallest bit of attention, it should be obvious that Presidents and Governors operate under completely different rules/processes. That said, I know what he's said and as I said, I'm waiting. I just find it comical that he demands special sessions to address diversity programs or that he inserts himself directly into redistricting or that he inserts himself directly into drag show practices, but this? This, he's going to be hands-off and let the legislature bring something to him. It speaks volumes about his motives and his priorities. The severity of the problems aren't a primary factor. This isn't going to get him flashy headlines nationally, so hands off, but we DEFINITELY needed a special session to address things not even happening in this state.The President cant even get things done without the Senate and house approval .Then why are you responding to me?

Who could argue the logic of this position? Punishing companies he doesn’t like and feeding bs CRT red meat to his base are Ron’s priorities.

Gotcha. Well first off when I wrote that I was confusing potential hurricanes which was a total screw up on my part, and second hopefully it is sensationalism as you say. Though I often defend the news media from charges of political bias, I would never defend them from charges of being overly sensational- they’re certainly quite often guilty of that.
I mean, it's not like ol' Ron has a reputation of targeting individual companies that displease him. It's kind of weird they haven't mentioned him.I find it interesting that the actual insurance companies that are the most affected by this crisis dont mention DeSantis `s name as the cause or solution .
Is anything being done to curb the crisis?
Yes, although the full effects of the measures have yet to be seen. Senate Bill 76 went into effect in July 2021 and included several provisions to curb fraudulent claims causing insurers so much strain. One such provision is aimed at reducing the solicitation tactics that fraudulent contractors often use at the start of a scam. While this legal measure may help solve the problem, Sean Harper, CEO of Kin Insurance, warns that “there will need to be additional action taken to restore the market to health.”
Florida lawmakers met for a special session from May 23 through May 27. The Legislature passed an insurance reform bill that includes several provisions to help slow the spiral of the market. The provisions included setting up the My Safe Florida Home Program, which provides grants to help Florida homeowners strengthen their homes against damage. Additionally, home insurance companies will not be able to deny coverage for homes solely based on roof age if a roof is less than 15 years old and still has five years of useful life left (older roofs may still be denied as they present a high risk of damage). Finally, lawyers will be restricted in the rates they can charge for property insurance claims cases, hopefully discouraging fraudulent lawsuits and decreasing litigation costs.

I have NEVER said this was because of something DeSantis did because I understand how government works. I HAVE said in this thread it's up to him and his GOP legislature to get it fixed.....repeatedly. Honestly, I don't really give a **** who created the mess. The fact is the mess is here and has to be dealt with. Knowing this, it shouldn't surprise you that I don't give a **** what Fried says about her opponent in the midst of a political campaign either. Consider the source and all that.

Learn to take a joke. But since you chose to go there, do you really want to be the one to call someone out for a whataboutism? I'm pretty sure if I opened up a thread about someone you're obsessed with I could find many many posts of yours before you could find one of mine.So a whataboutism?

Seemed to be more like your usual snark to avoid saying anything bad about someone like Desantis or a decision he made.Learn to take a joke.

I don’t think so. He appears to be on top of things. He may get criticism over this insurance thing afterwards.
Insurance issues have been a problem well before this hurricane...they've been pushed to the back burner to address drag shows and the like.
I know, you’ve been quite informative on this subject in this thread. It may become a bigger news issue in the wake of this catastrophe.
This very powerful hurricane hasn't even hit land yet and you're busy in the spin zone for how Desantis is doing?
I obviously don't know their exact situation, but I will say that evacuations can be incredibly difficult in situations like these, especially if you don't get going early enough. Flights are pretty much impossible to book, and the main highway (I-75 in this case) can become absolutely choked. There's a real risk that, if you start out, you will run out of gas and be unable to refill your tank.
And these storms are unpredictable. Isn't uncommon for folks to evacuate into what ends up being the strom's final path
I remember reading a magazine profile of the owners of a New Orleans nursing home who were prosecuted for failing to evacuate during Katrina, which resulted in the deaths of numerous patients. On the one hand, they clearly made the wrong decision, and they should suffer the consequences. At the same time, it was hard not to have at least some sympathy for the position they were in. They had previously evacuated the nursing home multiple times for potential hurricanes, all of which turned out to be not as bad as predicted. The evacuations were incredibly disruptive, and themselves potentially life threatening for the frailest of patients. So this time they decided to ride it out and their gamble went horribly wrong. My main takeaway from that article was that I hope I never face that kind of choice.
Not at all. I can’t stand the guy myself. But it’s pretty clear that you can’t compare him to Trump in terms of competence. At least that’s my impression.
Yup...and politics aside..he's looking pretty good right now.
I doubt it. My guess is if he handles it competently, he gets a modest bump in a race he was already likely to win. But it's not like we're all going to be talking about this two years from now ... unless he goes hard after Trump in the primary comparing his response to Ian to Trump's with Maria.
Was kinda weird. He's doing exactly what he's supposed to do so far. As I said before, the playbook on this kind of event is well established if not set in stone. All any of our Governors have to do is follow it.
I’m currently watching Fox News. They’re doing a good job doing that for Desantis.
He has more credibility because he actually has a track record of serving the public in an elected role. That is something Trump never had. Trump actually made it harder on himself with all of the in-fighting. I remember during COVID, he was blaming Whitmer and other blue state governors for not being responsible. At least DeSantis and Biden are working together during a hurricane.
