Accountability is in order
To the editor:
It may be too soon to tell if the FEMA discount will continue or be withdrawn.
As a homeowner in Lee County with flood insurance, I would hope the County can sufficiently defend its position that it was and is compliant with the FEMA rules.
If FEMA drops the insurance discount, I will be directly and negatively impacted due to negligence of the County. Therefore, I will be looking for a 25% discount in my taxes to offset the 25% increase in my insurance bill, every year, until the County regains their compliance with FEMA.
I do not know who within the County administration is responsible for FEMA compliance. I do feel that accountability is in order. Why should I pay the price for someone’s malfeasance? That is a lot of money out of my pocket. Maybe it should come out of theirs?
