A View from the Coast May 14, 2009
As full time residents of Port Aransas (Port A), we have followed the proposed changes to windstorm coverage with shock and horror! We are full time residents of Port A and are approaching retirement age. We have watched as our retirement savings have been decimated by this recession. Real estate sales are at a standstill as a result of the recession, so we can only guess how far home values have already fallen. Now your proposals would likely further decimate our home value, our only remaining source of retirement savings. Your timing is horrible!……
CWIC BULLETIN #5 To Austin Tuesday MAY 5, 2009
There are only a few days left to make a difference
DON’T LET A “BAD” WINDSTORM INSURANCE BILL KILL THE TEXAS COAST!!
CSSB 14 has taken center stage in the windstorm insurance arena.
After 4 substitutes for SB 14 had been presented, Lt. Governor Dewhurst is pressing for divergent views to be reconciled in time to pass a bill out of the Senate by May 6, 2009. Coastal Senators have demonstrated to other Senators that many punitive provisions would harm the Texas economy. The result is that bill revisions are possible which could make CSSB 14 acceptable to TWIA actual and potential future policy holders.
The House Insurance Committee has several windstorm bills left pending, including some of great concern, but it seems to be awaiting Senate action.
The Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce has initiated, and ALL CWIC interested parties are encouraged to participate, in a noon May 5, 2009 “Don’t Kill the Coast” blitz at the Texas Capitol steps. This action, attended by hundreds from all parts of the Texas Coast is designed to communicate in unmistakable terms that this is a life or death issue for the Coastal economy.
A Galveston County bus reservation form is attached below. Others come by plane, train, bus or drive, but COME join your fellow Texans to show in the strongest communication possible–your bodily presence– that this is vitally important to you. This is the best way to show YOUR Senator and Representative that YOU APPRECIATE THEIR STRONG PROTECTION!
