Cat Quotes
What I don't want to see us do is keep fooling ourselves and say we're going to let Citizens handle it, the Cat Fund handle it, which is saying we have insurance when we really don't. All we're doing is creating this mechanism to tax ourselves at a level, frankly, our state can't sustain.

We have contingency factors built in for increased costs due to the market, and we can just move money from the contingency fund into the budget if we need to.
