"I'll be taking a very close look at this in the coming weeks," promised Alex Sink, who oversees the Department of Financial Services, speaking at the annual Workers' Compensation Educational Conference here, sponsored in part by the National Underwriter Company.

She said that Florida legislative changes have led to a stronger market and greater protection for workers.
