CFO-elect Alex Sink gave the first glimpse of her own insurance agenda at a House conference this morning.

The banking executive drew applause from the room of representatives by suggesting insurance companies need to state up front what they’ll give back to consumers in exchange for their own demands.

“We can’t keep giving favors to insurance companies and have them stick our nose in it 10 days after the bill is passed,” Sink said, referring to State Farms’ rate hike filing on the heels of favorable insurance reform legislation last spring.

“It can’t be a one-way street any longer.”

Ok Charlie, we Still Have a Insurance Crisis

Congratulations Governor Elect. Now get to work.

Crist defers to Bush on insurance. The governor-elect said that he won’t meddle in a special session that is expected before he takes office. In his first appearance after defeating Jim Davis to become the next governor, Crist told reporters and supporters Wednesday that he will defer to Gov. Jeb Bush on policy matters until the Jan. 2 inauguration – including on Bush’s plan to have lawmakers return next month to address Florida’s crumbling insurance market.

So will that then give you an excuse once you do take office Charlie? Shouldn’t you be involved in the special session so that nothing gets done that will affect or hamper your plan for the insurance crisis that you campaigned on?

Get in there and get your hands dirty Governor Elect Crist, I think you probably will not a head start on this crisis.
