With the many concerns Floridians have over the pressing kitchen table issues, State Representative Patricia Williams (D-Pompano Beach) is alarmed that during this Special Session the Legislature will not be discussing the ever-increasing property insurance rates. Representative Williams is sounding the alarm on the critical property insurance crisis plaguing the great state of Florida. In response to property insurance not included in this Special Session, Representative Williams issued the following statement.
“Here we go again. A Special Session is called, but it seems that the pressing concerns of the people of Florida are being overlooked. We’re presented with a list of five bills to discuss, yet conspicuously absent is any mention of the property insurance crisis that’s worsening right here in our state. The absence of a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to addressing this crisis during the upcoming Special Session is a glaring oversight.
“I would hope we could think about the critical issues here in Florida and not put a mere Band-Aid on something that requires serious attention and resolution. This Legislature is clearly demonstrating a total disregard for the concerns of the people of this state. The citizens of Florida are looking to their elected officials to take meaningful action to tackle the property insurance crisis, which is particularly pertinent given the recent natural disasters that have shaken our state. The lack of focus on this issue during the Special Session raises questions about our commitment to the wellbeing of our constituents and the long-term stability of our state.
“I remain committed to advocating for solutions to the property insurance crisis and will continue to fight for the interests of the people of Florida. I also call on my colleagues and the Governor to prioritize this issue and listen to the needs of the people of Florida.”
