Quote: “My goal is to get effective legislation in Tallahassee for sober homes, which are residential homes that are bought then turned into rehab facilities overnight. They’re fly-by-night and are unregulated. Also, property insurance is a huge issue in this area, specifically wind insurance. People are unhappy that their wind insurance is going up every year and we haven’t had a storm in eight years.”
