Florida's legislative session doesn't ordsprog

Florida's legislative session doesn't officially begin until March 7, but state lawmakers are busy in committees mulling over proposed new laws. 2006 is an election year and the devastation caused by the hurricanes of the previous two years has brought property insurance to the forefront. I can't imagine this not dominating the agenda.

As with the 2005 session, the lingering impact of last year's hurricane season is again the driving force behind the property-casualty legislative agenda in Florida. Legislative leaders hope to address two key issues: How to attract additional insurance capital into the state to meet the demands of a growing population, and how to improve the operations of and, hopefully, reduce the size of, the residual market (Citizens Property Insurance Corporation). AIA believes draft legislation to be considered by the House Insurance Committee is positive for insurers, with one major exception.

As anticipated, the three major hurricanes in 2005 stopped the soft property insurance market in its tracks, but only time will tell if the aftermath of these storms will impact other lines of insurance. Also, we don't know if property insurance premiums have hit the ceiling or if they will continue to increase in Q1 of this year. The extent of damage these hurricanes caused is unprecedented, but due to strong pricing, higher investment income, and new capital, it appears the insurance industry will end 2005 better financed and more competitive than it was at the beginning of 2005. Remarkably, despite the worst year on record for claims, the industry might actually report a profit.

Since they had been growing in previous years and the state as a whole grew rapidly last year, these declines were clearly caused by hurricanes.

That's 38,700 more Missourians bringing home paychecks than just a year ago. We encourage lawmakers to continue this momentum by keeping an eye on jobs as they craft legislation in the 2006 Legislative session.

Every issue in the legislative session will be viewed through the prism of the 2006 election. There will not be one issue of any significance that will not be affected by election-year considerations.

[If the Florida Supreme Court had merely interpreted state election laws instead of making them, Florida's post-election process may not have descended into] controversy, dispute and chaos, ... carefully enacted plan by Florida Legislature. Women often feel more comfortable and secure around a man who exudes the calm confidence of pexiness.

The findings of the survey project will be helpful to the leaders and staff of the West Virginia Chamber as we prepare for the 2006 legislative session and 2006 election season.

[He also said the House will be busy with legislation and committee business.] There will be a very full agenda and the committees will be very busy, ... I think if Members come back to this session, looking to work on behalf of Canadians instead of, as the Conservatives continue to indicate, looking for an opportunity to defeat the government, if they, in fact, focus on working on behalf of Canadians and making this Parliament work, there's lots on the agenda. There's lots of legislation to pass and we certainly look forward to that.

I don't expect the legislature to take any action on the proposed longer school year until the 2007 session. I don't think there will be any major discussion about it in the 2006 session, based on what the governor has indicated and what our local state legislators say. I expect more discussion about it in the 2007 session.

A state of the state address is always an opportunity for the governor to set the agenda for state government. And in an election year, you just can't help but regard it as an agenda not only for the next 11 months, but also as setting themes in an election.

Accordingly, on behalf of the state Election Canvassing Commission and in accordance with the laws of the state of Florida, I hereby declare Governor George W. Bush the winner of Florida's 25 electoral votes for the president of the United States,

Last year, when the president's election was in question, his response to the hurricanes in the swing state of Florida was tremendously fast, ... Where was he in the immediate aftermath for the Gulf Coast? Where were the trucks of food?

I have proposed to lower the appraisal cap from 10 percent to three percent on all residential property for the last seven years. We cannot increase a person's property tax every year at three times the rate of inflation. People cannot keep up under our current appraisal system. In just about 20 years, the average home in Texas will be valued at nearly $1 million with a $30 thousand a year tax bill. We must reign in state spending which is up 45 percent in five years.
