Rep. Maxwell Frost, a central Florida congressman, held an “emergency roundtable” discussion with his Orange and Osceola County constituents this week and now he wants to bring their stories directly to the governor.
Frost is demanding a meeting with Gov. Ron DeSantis to discuss concerns over the state’s property insurance crisis. “I request an urgent meeting to discuss my constituent’s concerns and hear your plans for a solution to this crisis,” Frost wrote. “We want to have this conversation with the governor, a really good faith conversation about the stories and figure out how can we move together as a state to solve this problem.”
Last week the Governor called an emergency special session of the Florida Legislature, Frost wrote. “However, you did not use that time to deliver legislative solutions to solve the decreasing coverage and rising costs of property insurance hundreds of thousands across our state are facing.”
In the letter to DeSantis, Frost relayed stories from multiple homeowners, including a Habitat for Humanity homeowner who had his policy cancelled and “is now forced to choose between costly property insurance coverage and paying for his cell phone, internet, or car note.” He also discussed a relator who lost several deals this year due to clients backing out over insurance costs and a business owner who fears “a major impact” to “not just their profits, but on the central Florida economy.” In the letter to DeSantis, Frost said the stories he heard were the result of the governor’s “lack of leadership to properly regulate the insurance industry, mitigate the destruction of extreme weather events, and make informed legislative decisions to solve the problem.”
Floridians pay an average of $6,000 a year for property insurance, according to the Insurance Information Institute, which is about four times higher than the national average. Frost said the burden of addressing the crisis should fall on Florida’s legislators – not its residents.
