I actually received a call yesterday afternoon from Farmers. They called to explain their reasoning. I was happy that they called and know have a better understanding of why they did it. It was simply a business decision. The fact of the matter is that the wind pool in NC is broken. Unfortunately it will probably take a severe hurricane and a big mess to get it fixed. I like commissioner Jim Long and think that he has done a good job. At the same time he has not been very supportive of the carriers themselves. Now that he is retiring it will be up to the new commissioner to fix the wind pool mess before NC ends up like Florida.
