Yikes. How soon will some troll blame DeSantis for the rain?

Storms happen, but lefties will use ANYTHING to troll about.

Florida's Biggest Insurer Says It Needs to Increase Rates by 93 Percent - Newsweek

Florida's largest insurer has requested a 13.5 percent rate hike but says it needs a nearly 93 percent increase to match the competitive market. Citizens Property Insurance Corp. is currently requesting a more modest hike from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) because state regulations cap the amount rates can increase annually. Brian Donovan, Citizens' chief actuary, said in a hearing last week that this would increase the average price of homeowners multi-peril policies, the insurer's most common type of policy, from $3,560 to $4,041. Other types of policies would also see increases in varying amounts in the double digits.

But he added that rates for Citizens' personal multi-peril policies would need to increase by 92.8 percent to be non-competitive.

Citizens President and CEO Tim Cerio said that the double-digit rate increase was necessary to reduce the insurer's financial risk and that the decision wasn't made "lightly."
