Wilma!

Dear friend,

This is good - this is really good

Check out this story from the Miami Herald

If three years (and two clean seasons) after the event, the noble state of Florida is still trying to pay for Hurricane Wilma, how long would taxpayers be on the hook for a re-run in 2008?

Given the increased exposures to the State it is certifiably going to be higher than it was three years ago.

Yet more proof that in politics the 'pay later' approach is always preferred.

As Fred Flintstone would say:

Wilma!!!
