State Farm and other carriers, including Citizens, need a rate increase. That is the lesson elected politicians need to get out to homeowners. It will take the average Floridian many months of that correct message for it to sink in. Once that lesson takes hold, we can then try to teach them why a rate increase is necessary. Floridians have been done a disservice so far, having been told they can get something for nothing. How many consecutive years do they have to witness something completely contrary to what they have been told in order for them to believe what they see, and not what they hear, by politicians and lawyers whose primary purpose is to one, be wealthy and two, gain power.
