Workshop on Sinkhole Insurance
Saturday,
August 18, 2007 HAC and FCAN are joining together to hold a workshop on sinkholes and insurance. Seating is limited, so please RSVP to Ginny Stevans at hac_president@hacfl.org, or call HAC at 727-967-8220 if you are interested in attending. There will be industry experts involved in this workshop including a geologist, sinkhole engineer, insurance industry representative, Office of Insurance Regulations, Legal Expert, and CFO Alex Sink's office. There will be workshops with these experts and at the end of the workshop there will be a question and answer period. This workshop is being done to gain solutions to the sinkhole issues we have here in Pasco and Hernando Counties. We already know there is a problem, now we want to work on solutions. Pasco and Hernando counties are prone to sinkholes
and insurance rates have skyrocketed as a result. This makes it
difficult for people to maintain their budgets and some may even be
unable to keep their homes. Consumers are complaining that they are confused by the new law and there is concern that some people may wind up without coverage when a sinkhole strikes. What can we do about sinkhole insurance coverage and problems with insurance in Pasco and Hernando counties? You're invited to help figure out the answers at this important workshop. Seating is limited. Please email "hac_president@hacfl.org" if
you want to attend. Attendance is by invitation only.  Sen. Bill Nelson will hold Town Hall Meeting in New Port Richey
Monday,
August 6, 2007 Pasco Commissioner Jack Mariano hopes insurance reform advocates pack the Aug. 6th meeting. He wants them to encourage Nelson to introduce legislation for a national or regional catastrophe fund, similar to proposals in the U.S. House. HAC needs as many people as possible to show up and let the Senator know we still need more work on insurance reform.
One
year ago today we started this journey toward affordable
insurance. From a small group of frustrated homeowners gathered at a
Town Hall meeting, we have grown into a better informed group of over
1000 and have recently combined efforts with other groups across
Florida. We now are over one million voices strong...read

August 06, 2006 This week on ABC Flashpoint: Skyrocketing insurance rates are sending some families into foreclosure. Others who own their homes outright are simply priced out of the insurance market and can only cross their fingers... hoping this hurricane season will spare them. This Sunday on Flashpoint, you'll learn about this crisis from a lawmaker, an insurance agent and an unhappy homeowner. All three sit down with me to discuss the problem and some solutions. Don't miss ABC Flashpoint this Aug. 6th, Sunday morning at 11:00. HAC member Wil Nickerson did a great job as the homeowner. Thanks WIL!
