Once again the fate of the property insurance market appears to be completely in the hands of Charlie Crist.
Gov. Crist, who came into office promising to lower insurance rates for homeowners, will determine what (if any) property insurance legislation comes to fruition this year. His call to veto any legislation that includes rate hikes significantly affected how legislators dealt with the issue.
Lawmakers early on during the 2010 session jettisoned plans to push a full-blown deregulation or "consumer choice" bill out of fear that Crist would veto the legislation like he did in 2009. However, the lingering question throughout the session was whether the final product that lawmakers come up with will pass muster.
