The Florida Senate approved a rate hike of up to 85% for Citizens Insurance. The vote was 24/15 and now moves to the Florida house.
Jeff Clemens, once again, voted on the right side of reason by voting NO. “If you want to raise insurance rates, vote for this bill,” said Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth.

many of them with wind-only policies, according to Citizens records.
