Florida CFO Alex Sink recently sat down with Florida Underwriter's Joan Collier and Gary Fineout to discuss Citizens Property Insurance Corp, the Cat Fund, and the state of the industry in general.

Q. Florida Underwriter: The Cat Fund has been getting some very negative comments lately from the Florida Insurance Council, A.M. Best, and other industry observers. How bad do you think things are, and how are you going to fix them?

A. Sink: The notion of the Cat Fund is a good and solid one. We have heard our advisor say that many times over – the structure we set up after Hurricane Andrew, with the mandatory layer, was good, and did provide stability in the insurance market.
