This Key Largo Ethics and Elections Committee, is on target when he says safeguards are needed to prevent hijinks. He likes Scott’s plan, as do we, but it’s best to wait CELEBRATING OUR PAST until the investigation is complete before deciding on specific remedies. Dan Krassner, head of Integrity Florida, a non- partisan, nonprofit government watchdog, puts it well: “Just adding another seat on the bus may not solve all the problems.” Scott and legislative leaders want Citizens to increase premiums to market rates to encourage private insurers to return to Florida and cut the risk to policyholders. The public, already resistant to higher rates, is certainly not going to accept hikes from an agency known for mismanagement and wild spending. An inspector general might be just what’s needed at Citizens, but the investigations may show even more extensive repairs are needed.
