Thursday, January 10, 2008
 
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - "I am pleased that Gov. Crist and the Legislature are supportive of the efforts of the Office of Insurance Regulation to ensure that insurance companies are complying with the law that was enacted last January.
 
"Requiring insurance company executives to testify publicly about why their property insurance rates in Florida have not gone down should stand as further evidence to the companies and to consumers that Florida is serious about its efforts to make property insurance available and affordable.
 
"And, I will continue to do everything within the power of my office to ensure that the required savings that was promised to the Legislature is being passed along to consumers."
