ALLSTATE INSURANCE TEAMS UP WITH FLORIDA STATE HISPANIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO OFFER GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL SUPPLEMENTAL PLANS

Our nation is facing one of the toughest and longest economic declines in our lifetimes. On top of high unemployment and stagnant incomes, Florida families and businesses now are threatened with rising energy prices created by increased and intrusive government regulations.

 
Energy already represents a large expense for Floridians.  According to a recent analysis by economist Eugene Trisko, the 55 percent of Floridians who earn less than $50,000 a year must devote nearly a quarter of their take home pay to energy costs. That situation is worse for lower income families and Hispanics:  Where the poorest households that earn less than $10,000 annually spend 74 percent of their family income on energy (before government assistance).  Due to income disparities, Hispanics are hit harder by higher energy prices.

Coalitions such as the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) are working hard to keep energy prices low here in Florida and across the country.  And, in Florida that means continuing to use affordable and efficient U.S. coal resources, which is America’s most abundant domestically produced fuel.
