Tuesday, January 16th, 2007 — Angry and worried homeowners and businesses who can’t afford doubling and tripling premiums for property insurance may get some relief, as lawmakers begin a weeklong special session Tuesday aimed at lowering rates. The problem has been growing since 2004, the first of two bad hurricane seasons that cost insurers more than $30 billion in Florida. But lawmakers have resisted measures in recent years that would quickly cut rates, which the industry says could simply exacerbate the problem by driving more companies out of the state.
