People living in Central Forida are taking a beating when it comes to water costs ( we have a three tier rate) and Homeownowners Insurance.

There does seem to be "a rat in the wood pile" when it comes to the cost of water in Florida. When something "smells" its usually political and I think you hit the nail on the head. For example: In TV you have two Districts---St. John's and Southwest pulling water out of the very same Aquifer with different watering rules. You live in Sumter County and you water once a week----in Lake County twice a week. Makes no sense.
