Today's Letters: Crist needs to keep promises

On June, I received my homeowners insurance premium notice and, as most everyone can imagine, I was more than just a little displeased; the cost went up as my frown went further down.

In August, I received my Truth in Millage, or TRIM, notice and, as most everyone can imagine, I was shortchanged on my expectations. Sure, I saved a bit, but it was still something that made me grit my teeth.

Also in August, I was pleased to see how much I saved on my auto insurance. But then my mind went "flip" because I had to purchase additional medical insurance because, in October, I lose my personal injury protection.

When I consider all this, I realize that all the talk about saving money and fees was nothing but a terrible tease.

I voted for Gov. Charlie Crist in November, and all those promises of relief, I surely remember. I send this message to Crist: Please, it's time to correct your guidance of the Florida Legislature, because I'm not the only one experiencing such painful displeasure.

Re: Rogers Christmas House

Owner isn't only one suffering

Unfortunately, this is not just "a family matter." Other people are involved - laid-off employees, neighboring businesses, the whole city of Brooksville.

Let's hope that Donna Jones can overcome her present difficulties. We wish her well.
