State senator says Gov. DeSantis needs to ‘come home,’ call special session to address property insurance crisis

A Florida State Senator who represents Jacksonville is urging Gov. Ron DeSantis to call another special session on property insurance this summer with the single goal of creating savings and benefits for homeowners.

“Governor, come home and take care of your state. We all know that he’s running for president, but we have real problems, real issues, and the crisis with property insurance,” Davis said.

On average, Floridians are shelling out $6,000 a year on property insurance while the average price for the rest of America is about $1,700.

News4JAX Viewer Kelly Morgan is feeling the pinch and said her premium went from $1,800 to $6,600 dollars a year.

Farmers Insurance announced on Tuesday that it will no longer offer coverage to Floridians, and 18 other Florida property insurance companies are on a government watch list because of concerns over their financial health.

There were some desantis supporters or otherwise, that were claiming there wasn't an insurance problem in Florida.

Some people were saying people just had to stop building along the coast...

Ignoring that almost nowhere in Florida is safe from the effects of a hurricane, when the diameter of a major hurricane can stretches across half the state or more, and their paths frequently cross the state.

How does that matter to the topic?

Florida is getting crushed by property and other insurance rate increases and loss of insurers.

desantis is out campaigning and hasn’t done anything about it that has controlled the current and coming increases.

The Senator in question is a democrat. Just what do you expect? Consider the source.

I think if you talk to most, Floridians, they would day they love DeSantis. They just want PT in 2024.

I agree with this guy. I’m in FLA and we are getting CREAMED on this issue and there’s no one at them helm to lead the charge. DeSantis totally ditched FLA and needs to drop out of the pres race and do his job

Magical thinking from a desantis supporter/nevertrumper?

So saying it’s a democrat saying this, makes all the insurance problems go away?

We should always consider the source. You buried it for some reason.
