Members of the Florida House and Senate began meetings today to hammer out an agreement on legislation designed to lower property insurance premiums that soared in the wake of 2004 and 2005 hurricanes.
The meetings are expected to last through the weekend, as lawmakers debate the merits of a number of proposals that the insurance industry suggests are a punitive quick-fix that will mortgage the state's economic future.
The Senate conferees will be led by Sen. Bill Posey, R-Rockledge, and the delegation will also include the majority leader, Sen. Daniel Webster, R-Winter Garden. The House delegation will be led by Rep. Ray Sansom, R- Ft. Walton Beach.
