Crist is a joke. A very bad, very tasteless joke.
Gallaghers' dream is a crock
Tom Gallaghers' latest TV ad includes "Tom Gallagher won't let offshore insurance companies hold your home hostage. Tom Gallagher, fighting for the American dream."
Tom Gallagher is being economical with the truth.
He looks after insurers at the expense of Floridians;
Insurance insiders know that for three years he and his Department of Financial Services danced with White Mountains Insurance Group Ltd, a Bermuda-based financial services holding company with major interests in the reinsurance market, and even today Gallagher refuses to enforce the law against these offshore pirates who seem to think they are immune from prosecution as they blatantly violate Florida's statutes every day.
Sirius International, a White Mountains subsidiary reinsurer is unlicensed in Florida yet has underwritten unlawful medical insurance plans in Florida for more than 5 years. The DFS investigated them for 3 years before deciding the company was acting unlawfully, but apparently chose not to fine them when their illegal activities were exposed
Steven Fass (photo left) is President of White Mountains. He knows Sirius is unlawful in Florida yet refuses to instruct them to stop writing there. His lawyers have met several times with DFS officials and finally they withdrew their application for a license in Florida in March '06, but even that acknowledgment they have no authority didn't stop them underwriting.
Despite clear violations of Florida's Insurance Code and Statutes by Sirius International Gallagher has not allowed his staff to force them to stop doing business in Florida, take any regulatory against them, or levy any monetary penalties.
Gallagher is cozying up to this offshore insurer and letting them get away with stealing taxes from Florida and writing millions of dollars worth of illegal insurance - is that his vision of fighting for the American dream?
Gallagher should be impeached and removed from the post of Treasurer for his massive wrongdoings with White Mountains.
It's clear that Gallagher is definitely not Governor material.
