When lawmakers return to
Tallahassee next week, they’ll
resume work on a six-pack of
bills that would overhaul
property insurance for Florida
consumers — particularly the
24,000 in the Keys who are
among the 1.3 million
statewide covered by Citizens
Property Insurance Corp.
Fair Insurance Rates in
Monroe hopes that by the
time lawmakers return,
they’ll have inboxes full of
messages from Keys residents
explaining the effects
large rate hikes and dropped
policies would have on one of
the state’s crown jewels.
Proponents say the legislative
overhaul is necessary to
protect an undercapitalized
and overextended insurer-oflast
resort and lure back private
insurers. Meanwhile,
Keys residents who’ve long
had little to no choice in windstorm
insurers fear rapidly rising
rates. And they’re unconvinced
other insurers will be
knocking on their doors anytime
soon.
The two legislative bodies
are taking different tacks on
the issue with the widest
impact — rate increases for
Citizens’ policyholders. The
Senate bill would have policyholders
paying 25 percent
more next year; the House bill
calls for a more modest 15
percent. Both are above the 10
percent cap the Legislature
put in place two years ago.
“It’s hard to tell what’s
going to get hammered out,”
said Monroe County Mayor
Heather Carruthers, because
there are several bills working
their way through the two
chambers toward floor votes
and than some kind of reconciliation.
The legislation
The Sun-Sentinel broke
down the six main pieces of
legislation under consideration
and their highlights:
◆ HB 803 and SB 408
would allow private insurers
to drop full sinkhole coverage;
bar regulators from rejecting
rate hikes for insurer’s costs
for advertising and agent commissions;
and limit the time
homeowners have to file sink-

INSURANCE
hole and hurricane claims to
two and three years respectively.
The Senate version has
cleared four committees and is
now pending a full chamber
vote. The House version has
cleared two committees.
◆ HB 1243 and SB 1714
would allow annual rate hikes
for state-backed Citizens
Property Insurance customers
that are higher than the 10 percent
allowed by state law; bar
policyholders who can find a
private insurer that charges up
to 25 percent more; and allow
the insurer to drop policies for
homes that cost $500,000 or
more to replace. The Senate
version, which allows fewer
policyholders to be dropped
and allows premiums to rise
by up to 25 percent a year, has
yet to be taken up by its final
legislative panel. The House
version, which limits increases
for individual policyholders
by 15 percent a year, has
cleared two panels and is now
pending approval by the full
House.
◆ SB 1330 would allow
insurers to increase policyholders’
premiums by up to
30 percent a year without the
normal oversight from regulators.
It has cleared one committee
and is slated for consideration
by another. The
House version, HB 885, was
stripped of that provision. It
has cleared two committees
and is available to be taken
up by the full chamber.
The specifics of each bill
are tweaked constantly. You
can find the text of each one
on the House and Senate websites,
myfloridahouse.gov
and flsenate.gov.

Keys residents send message to Tallahassee
Videos, letters, e-mails address insurance issue
“Disruptive and destructive
for the economy as a
whole” is how Carruthers
describes some of the current
proposals, which include
measures to bar new business
policies and exclude homes
with a replacement cost of $1
million or more.
Carruthers is president of
the nonprofit FIRM, which
has long lobbied for rate parity
for the Keys and an overhaul
of the risk models that
insurers use to set those rates.
Carruthers and other Keys
residents have made a few
rounds of the Capitol in the
last month and a half, knocking
on office doors and testifying
before committees working
on the measure, hoping to
raise awareness of the Keys’
unique piece of the insurance

puzzle.
In the short term, FIRM
hopes it can carve out some
protection from the insurance
overhaul for Keys policyholders,
who already pay among
the highest rates in the state.
“We’re feeling pretty positive
about some things, but
we’re going to have this annual
fight until we get the models
changed,” said Annalise
Mannix, FIRM’s executive
director.
In the long term, the
organization has to provide
hard data that can be used to
change how the islands fit
into windstorm risk models.
The modeling issue is a
complicated one; in simplest
terms, FIRM contends the
county doesn’t get enough
credit for the strength of its
housing stock or the fact that
it’s more at risk from water
than wind.
“It’s really expensive to
build here, in part because we
build sturdier than everyone
else,” Carruthers said.
To keep up the pressure,
FIRM and its supporters, like
the Key West Chamber of
Commerce, are asking residents
to send letters to lawmakers.
Mannix is appealing
for at least some of the letters
to be sent the old-fashioned
way, via U.S. mail.
Mannix said residents
interested in writing letters
can find suggested text at
the group’s website,
FIRMKeys.org, but they
might want to add personal
details.
“Push forward the idea
that there is no alternative
insurer,” she said, and that a
25 percent increase is no
small matter for residents
paying thousands of dollars a
year to ensure a relatively
modest house.
FIRM is also sending off a
series of videos of locals —
such as two that feature Key
West Police Chief Donie Lee
and Monroe County schools’
chief Joe Burke — explaining
the impact of higher insurance
costs on Keys residents’ ability
to afford homes, retain
employees and keep businesses
open. Carruthers said
more participants are welcome;
she’s shooting the
videos using her iPhone, editing
them on her Mac and
sending them off to all Florida
lawmakers.
The modeling fight is
going to take expert witnesses,
who cost money. That’s
where the fundraisers come
in. The three Realtors’ associations,
for instance, have been
pulling together events to bolster
FIRM’s coffers.
“We’re starting to see

more money roll in,”
Carruthers said, “and we really
appreciate the support.”
The prospect of exponentially
increasing insurance
rates is of particular concern
to those involved in the real
estate industry, which is just
starting to gain some steam.
“As a buyer is shopping,
they always want to know the
carrying costs — taxes and
insurance,” said Realtor
Sandy Tuttle, who works out
of the Schwartz Property
Sales office on Big Pine Key.
“It is tricky for buyers to
obtain real insurance rates
until they are into the buying
process and are already
spending money.”
Tuttle said the costs can be
a deal-breaker.
She was working with a
local who wanted to buy a
$199,000 A-frame on a dry
lot. While the home itself was
affordable, the insurance costs
— $3,700 for windstorm,
$1,700 for flood and $800 for
homeowners — nearly doubled
the monthly payment
and pushed the home out of
the prospective buyer’s budget.
Citizens’ mitigation program,
which offers discounts
for improvements or structural
elements that harden a
home against storm damage,
requires new owners hire a
qualified inspector and fill out
a detailed application, even if
there were already credits in
place on the home.
While homeowners who
qualify for the credits can get
substantial breaks on their
premiums, Mannix points out
there’s “no guarantee that the
mitigation credits will be
there tomorrow.”

The economy is
improving.
Unemployment is
down. Retail sales are up.
Consumer confidence is
rebounding.
Bad times are receding
— slowly but surely — in
the rearview mirror and
prosperity is visible just
down the road.
Then why are so many
businesses teetering on the
brink of disaster?
Todd is fairly typical of
the problem.
Two years ago, he was
fired and decided to strike
out on his own. As he
struggled to build his business,
he survived on his
retirement savings.
And now that things are
turning around, he should
be looking forward to better
days.
Instead,
he’s looking
at bankruptcy.
“I’m
down to my
last
$15,000,”
he said.
“When
that’s gone,
I’m out of
business.”
Todd, like many others,
has been hanging on by his
fingernails. And now, just
when things should be getting
better, he’s losing his
grip.

For landlubbers looking
for an enjoyable and affordable
family activity, Dagny
Johnson Key Largo Hammock
Botanical State Park has
reopened two nature trails for
walking and cycling through
its tropical hardwood hammock.
The Port Bougainville Trail
forms a two-mile-long loop,
while the shorter trail is one
mile. Use of the trail no
longer requires a backcountry
permit. Visitors are
encouraged to stay on the
designated path.
The main entrance and
marked nature trail are on
Monroe County Road 905,
approximately a half-mile
north of the road’s intersection
with U.S. 1 at mile marker
106. An honor-system donation
of $2.50 is requested for
admission to the site.
Additional backcountry
trails can be explored by visitors
who complete a backcountry
permit at the John

National Key Deer Refuge
officials say they can’t anticipate
the exact date when the
fawns will appear, but the
season continues through to
July, with sometimes a resurgence
in August.
As a doe crosses a road, a
fawn may be following. The
fawn will not understand the
threat and may run in front of
the vehicle.
Motorists need to be
especially alert for erratic
deer during the spring and
early summer.
When a doe gives birth,
she needs to give her attention
to that fawn. To accomplish
this, yearlings — particularly
bucks — are forced out
by the doe to disperse to new
territory, often crossing U.S. 1.
Since 1980, the highest
numbers of road kills have
occurred during the summer
months.
Free-roaming dogs are
also a hazard to young deer.
IN BRIEF

Dagny Johnson has opened up two new trails.
Since 1970, the National Key

Paddleboard yoga classes
from Lazy Dog on Stock
Island.
The two-hour classes are
divided equally between paddling
time and yoga practice.
Participants first paddle out
to the calm backcountry
waters, spotting sea life and
wading birds along the way.
The yoga experience is
designed to still the mind
and increase flexibility and
strength through chanting,
breathwork and seated and
standing postures — all using
the board as a “mat” while
connecting with nature in a
tranquil mangrove setting.
The class ends with a paddle
back to the dock.
Morning and sunset classes
are available, and beginners
through experienced
yoga practitioners are welcome.
Cost is $20 per class.

Dear EarthTalk: Why
don’t cleaning products
have to list their ingredients,
and are these products
tested for what they might
do to your health?
— Patricia Greenville,
Bethel, Conn.
Since cleaning products
aren’t food, beverages or
drugs meant to be ingested,
they aren’t regulated, per
se, by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration.
However, makers are
required by the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency to list ingredients
that are active disinfectants
or potentially harmful.
Otherwise, they usually keep
their other ingredients secret,
presumably so competitors
can’t copy their formulas.
But consumer advocate
Sloan Barnett, author of
“Green Goes with
Everything,” doesn’t give
manufacturers the benefit
of that doubt.
“Call me suspicious, but
I honestly don’t think it’s
because the recipe is top
secret,” she says. “If it
was, there wouldn’t be so
many competing products
with identical ingredients.”
Barnett thinks manufacturers
don’t want to scare
Leslie Leopold

off consumers by disclosing
how many potentially
harmful chemicals are flying
under the EPA’s radar
in their products.
“The government only
requires companies to list
‘chemicals of known concern’
on their labels. The
key word here is ‘known.’”
she says. “The fact is that
the government has no
idea whether most of the
chemicals used in everyday
cleaning products are
safe because it doesn’t test
them, and it doesn’t
require manufacturers to
test them either.”
She adds that the EPA,
under the terms of 1976’s
Toxic Substances Control
American Caribbean Real Estate
www.MyFloridaKeysProperties.com
Act, “can’t require chemical
companies to prove the
safety of their products
unless the agency itself can
show that the product
poses a health risk —
which the EPA does not
have the resources to do
since, according to one
estimate, it receives some
2,000 new applications for
approval every year.”
She cites a recent study
by the non-profit
Environmental Working
Group, which found that
the EPA approved most
applications within three
weeks even though more
than half provided no
information on toxicity
whatsoever.
Regardless, consumers
should be familiar with
what warning labels are on
cleaning products.
“All household cleaners
that contain known hazardous
chemicals must
Keys Sunday
carry a warning label that
spells out potential risks,
along with precautionary
steps and first-aid instructions,”
reports Consumer
Reports’ Greener Choices
website.
Some manufacturers are
beginning to be more
transparent about their
ingredients. The Clorox
Co., for example, one of
the largest manufacturers
of cleaning products, now
publishes full lists of the
ingredients for all of its
brands on its corporate
responsibility website,
CloroxCSR.com. Many
praise Clorox for doing so;
others argue that, whether
or not ingredients are disclosed,
the company —
like many others — is still
in the business of making
products that pose health
and environmental hazards.
Generally speaking, if
you’re looking for safer
alternatives, browse the
cleaning products sections
of natural foods markets,
which are populated with
lesser-known but more
green-friendly brands.
For do-it-yourselfers,
