Florida sliding further backwards doesn't surprise me at all.

But on a good note it looks like Florida's Free Kill Law might finally be ending after 35 years of horrors to all the Floridians and tourists caught in it's trap, no thanks to the Republicans though.

Trabulsy noted that lawmakers passed the existing restriction in 1990 to reduce insurance rates.

“Lo and behold, insurance rates did not come down,” she said. “It’s about time that we change this law and put the courts back in the hands of Floridians.”

That's something, anyway. I hope we stop falling for "we will lower your rates", because we know they won't.

Greedy fucks are never going to lower a price. They must extract all available profit or they have failed.
