FLORIDA INSURANCE DEBATE: "If you go to an insurance agent in Florida and were to say, 'If I removed hurricane and wind from my private policy, what would my rate be?'—it cuts your insurance by 60 to 70%... That includes $1,000 tax that Byron supports. My plan would repeal it. Byron Donalds is an absolute liar on this issue" @davidjollyfl David Jolly addresses criticism surrounding his property insurance reform plan. Jolly defended his proposal to split hurricane and wind coverage away from standard private home policies into a state-backed catastrophe fund, claiming it would lower individual homeowners' rates by 60% to 70%. Responding to Republican opponent Byron Donalds' ads characterising the proposal as a "hurricane tax," Jolly rejected the claims, asserting that his plan is modeled after actuarially sound catastrophe structures and would utilize global reinsurance to protect state finances without placing additional tax burdens on Floridians.
