Sandy's Target: Your Wallet

THE FLOODING.

THE WIND DAMAGE.

THE IMPOSSIBLE TO REPAIR.

TOSS TO GEORGE-2-SHT PUSH

TONIGHT, A LOCAL INSURANCE COMPANY BELIEVES THE SURGE OF CLAIMS FROM HURRICANE SANDY IN THE NORTHEAST, COULD CAUSE A DOMINO EFFECT IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

GOOD EVENING, I'M PETER BUSCH.

AND I'M KELLIE BURNS.

SANDY FL INSURANCE RATES-BNR-PKG

BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE.

DEVASTATION FOR MANY.

THE IMAGES OF THE SUPER STORM'S WAKE CONTINUE TO STUN THE NATION.

SOME SAY ITS IMPACT WILL STRETCH FAR BEYOND THE NORTHEAST.

16:56: "Unfortunately because the insurance companies are going to paying more, it probably means that we're going to being more for the insurance as well." Tami Baker, La Insurance

L-A INSURANCE AGENT TAMI BAKER SAYS HER CONCERN IS THAT ONCE ALL THE DAMAGE IS ASSESED FROM SANDY, THE PAYOUTS FOR CLAIMS FROM THE REINSURANCE COMPANIES COULD CAUSE A SPIKE IN PROPERTY INSURANCE RATES IN FLORIDA.

THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE AFTER OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS THAT DIDN'T TOUCH FLORIDA.

17:17 ''In general we see most years a 10 to 14 percent increase in premiums but depending on how many billions of dollars are going to payout for Sandy it could be higher than that there's really no cap at this time." Baker

BAKER SAYS IT'S A TRICKLE-DOWN EFFECT, IF INSURANCE COMPANIES END UP HAVING TO PAY MORE FOR THEIR INSURANCE, THAT COST WILL BE PASSED ALONG TO HOMEOWNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THE UNCERTAINITY IS JUST HOW MUCH AND WHEN.

19:59 "Sandy is unprecedented we just don't know what the trickle down is going to be with her." Baker

SANDY FL INSURANCE RATES-OC-(3)CG

WE JUST HEARD FROM THE FLORIDA OFFICE OF INSURANCE REGULATION.

A SPOKESPERSON TOLD US, "THE GLOBAL REINSURANCE MARKET IS NOT REGULATED FOR RATES, AND MAY INCORPORATE GLOBAL CATASTROPHE LOSSES WHEN SETTING

THEIR RATES.

THEREFORE, THERE COULD POTENTIALLY BE AN INDIRECT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CATASTROPHIC LOSSES IN OTHER

THE FIRE DIDN'T SPREAD.

WE BEGIN IN LEE COUNTY, WHERE A HANDFUL OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES STORMED OUT OF A MEETING WITH A COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

NBC2'S CAMERAS WERE ROLLING WHEN THE ACTION HAPPENED.

MEDSTAR BIGELOW-PLASMA

WE DID ACTUALLY -

COMMISSIONER BRIAN BIGELOW WANTED THIS MEETING TO BE HELD IN PUBLIC -

MEDSTAR BIGELOW-BNR-PKG

IT WAS OVER BEFORE IT BEGAN.

Thank You

ASSISTANT COUNTY MANAGERS - ALONG WITH OTHER EMPLOYEES - STAND UP AND WALK OUT ON THEIR MEETING WITH COMMISSIONER BRIAN BIGELOW.

they've called a meeting to brief me on their plans for MedStar. I find it hard to believe in people's house they'd want to maintain some sort of privacy priveledges.

THE COUNTY IS LOOKING AT WHETHER IT SHOULD PRIVATIZE IT'S MEDICAL HELICOPTER PROGRAM.

AFTER NBC 2 INVESTIGATORS EXPOSED PATIENTS WERE MIS-BILLED SOME 3 MILLION DOLLARS.

4 COMPANIES WANT TO TAKE OVER OPERATIONS -

STAFF WERE SUPPOSED TO BRIEF BIGELOW ON THOSE COMPANIES TODAY'S MEETING, BUT EXPECTED THOSE DICUSSIONS TO BE PRIVATE.

that tells me - it leads me to believe what they wanted to tell me was different than what they want to tell the other commissioners.

ASSISTANT COUNTY MANAGER HOLLY SCHWARTZ TOLD ME OFF CAMERA -

SHE AND THE 4 OTHER STAFF MEMBERS HAVE A RIGHT NOT TO BE FILMED ON CAMERA.

THEY WERE WILLING TO LET US SIT IN ON THE MEETING - BUT BIGELOW WANTED MORE.

MEDSTAR BIGELOW-PLASMA

THE MANAGERS WERE SET TO MEET WITH THE OTHER 4 COMMISSIONERS TODAY THROUGH TOMORROW.

Scott Arceneaux/ Florida Democratic Party

"We've got tremendous lines in places like Miami-Dade, in Broward, in Palm Beach and we feel that to really give every Floridian the chance to vote the governor needs to step in and extend early voting hours into Sunday like we've had in the past."

FOUR YEARS AGO, CHARLIE CRIST EXTENDED EARLY VOTING HOURS.

TOSS TO GABY-PLASMA

HUNDREDS OF MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS ARE TURNED AWAY EVERY YEAR IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA, THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH SPACE.

BUT AN UPSCALE AND OVER-CROWDED "DAVID LAWRENCE CENTER" IN COLLIER COUNTY IS EXPANDING -- OPENING A BRAND NEW UNIT FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS.

MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY EXPANSION-BNR-PKG

A BUILDING DESIGNED FOR ONE PURPOSE--

TO HELP HEAL MENTALLY-ILL PATIENTS IN COLLIER COUNTY.

"There's more space, there's more privacy, there's more confidentiality."

EVERY INCH OF THIS 16-THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT FACILITY IS BUILT TO TREAT AND PROTECT PATIENTS IN CRISIS.

THE DAVID LAWRENCE CENTER IS THE ONLY NON-PROFIT MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT CENTER IN COLLIER--

BUT LAST YEAR MORE THAN 600 PATIENTS WERE TURNED AWAY AND SENT TO OTHER COUNTIES BECAUSE OF OVERCROWDING.

"It has been frustrating."

SO THE CENTER EXPANDED-- DOUBLING IN SIZE.

THE NEW 5MILLION DOLLAR CRISIS UNIT HAS 36 INPATIENT BEDS-- MOST WILL BE FILLED WITH BAKER ACT PATIENTS.

BOTH ADULTS AND KIDS WILL BE ADMITTED.

"We will now have the capacity to take care of all the need in this community."

RON STANFORD WAS ONCE A PATIENT AT DAVID LAWRENCE--

HE'S BEEN BATTLING BIPOLAR DISORDER FOR 25 YEARS, AND MADE A FULL RECOVERY--

"They helped me a great deal by getting me back on track, getting me the right medicines."

STANFORD IS NOW A PEER SPECIALIST--

HE KNOWS FIRST HAND HOW THE NEW CRISIS UNIT WILL HELP WITH RECOVERY.

44:05 it's so much more serene here and it's peaceful. 44:16 people are going to be able to come here in a very difficult time in their life where they're in crisis and well be able to help them that much better."

CAPE OVERGROWN LOT-BNR-PKG

Take nats

As Eddie Rodriquez perfects his picture perfect Cape Coral home -- Take gate nat

-- just beyond the backyard -- a barren landscape lurks.

Eddie Rodriquez, Homeowner

0246 "you don't want those creatures going in your backyard, breaking into your screens."

Nowadays Rodriquez tells us -- more and more snakes slither out of the overgrown grass.

He fears for his children -- and forces them to steer clear of the wide open space.

Rodriquez 0324 "you'll lose a ball. It goes over, they can't find it."

Take nats --

Neighbors cut battle lines in the ground -- by clearing out some of the land.

They explain -- there's no choice left but to do it themselves -- because the critters especially the cold blooded kind kind -- get bolder by the day.

Ron Vann, neighbor

5820 "I run over them. I'll go back and pick then up when I'm sure they're dead."

Ron Vann -- like many who border up to the large lot -- want all the grass and brush cut down.

Vann 5602 "I didn't move here to

live in a ghetto. We have beautiful homes around here. To look at this eyesore every morning is terrible."

Take nats

They say the situation is so severe -- without serious action -- safety slips from their control.

So for Rodriquez -- the bill now in the hundreds -- for expanding lawn work is a must.

CAPE OVERGROWN LOT-REMLIVE

RODRIQUEZ WASN'T KIDDING ABOUT THOSE -- LOST BALLS -- WE FOUND THIS ONE AFTER SOME QUICK WEED WHACKING.

ROBERT VAN WINKLE FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

SUN RETURNS FOR FRIDAY

The weather has been fantastic in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

Those brisk winds, which have now subsided, blew in a very cool, dry air mass, and with the exception of Thursday - we've seen a lot of sunshine.

A cold front currently sits to our north. The definition of a cold front is simply a change between two air masses. Ahead of the front there's muggy air, behind the front there's dry air. The air behind this front is very dry; you'll see and feel it Friday.

The front passes to our south over night which means all the dry, comfortable, sunny conditions will ooze into southwest Florida for several days!

As we go through the next seven days the clouds will slowly increase. They'll go from the high thin wispy clouds we call CIRRUS, and slowly start lowering into the big puffy clouds we call CUMULUS.

Come Tuesday those CUMULUS clouds will bear rain at times as another cold front approaches. From midweek forward we'll go back to the sunny, dry, spectacular weather.

When it comes to the temperatures - watch out - upper 70s and lower 80s here to stay during the day time.

Morning lows - in the upper 50s and lower 60s.

Kudos to Mother Nature.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. NEARLY *DOUBLING THEIR SALARIES--

BY WORKING *OVERTIME.

YOU'RE PAYING FOR IT--

AND SOME OF THE TOP EARNERS. ALL WORK IN ONE PLACE.

TTD~OVERTIME-PKG

AT NORTH COLLIER REGIONAL PARK--

THE FUN IS FREE.

MOM KRISTINA CHRAPKOVA HAS *ENOUGH TO PAY FOR.

KRISTINA CHRAPKOVA 10:35 Do I have an option? If there's something I need to buy it doesn't matter what it costs, I have to simply buy it. :40

HER HARD-EARNED MONEY IS ALSO BEING SPENT TO HELP *DOUBLE SOME SHERIFF'S OFFICE EMPLOYEE SALARIES--

WHO PULL EXTRA HOURS --

FIELDING 9-1-1 EMERGENCY CALLS.

CAPTAIN ROY ARIGO 57:15 are we paying more overtime than we would like to? because we're short of personnel? yes. :20

THE NBC-2 INVESTIGATORS FOUND THE TOP 5 OVERTIME EARNERS WERE NEARLY A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS LAST YEAR ALONE.

CAPTAIN ROY ARIGO SAYS THOSE EMPLOYEES FILL IN DURING PEAK HOURS ONLY, NOT WORKING A FULL SHIFT.

CAPTAIN ROY ARIGO 55:40 sometimes we need you at four in the morning, sometimes we need you at 11 at night. some people have that flexibility where they can just leave at a moment's notice and come in and do some overtime. :51

ONE EMPLOYEE HAS *TOPPED THE OVERTIME LIST ALL THREE YEARS--

TAKING HIS 60-THOUSAND DOLLAR A YEAR PAY. AND ADDING AN ADDITIONAL 55-THOUSAND IN 2011.

LOIS BENOVENLI:59 oh yeah, 91%? I'll take it. I wonder what it is, really. :04

THE WORK ISN'T CHILD'S PLAY--

ARIGO SAYS CONSTANT CALLS FOR HELP CAN BE STRESSFUL--

LEADING TO CONSISTENT CHANGES IN PERSONNEL.

CAPTAIN ROY ARIGO 51:55 it's something that the average person doesn't hear on a regular basis. :59

STANDUP There is a group of employees going through training right now which would bring the department to full staff-- but we're told with so much turnover in dispatch the Sheriff's Office will never *not be able to use overtime.

CAPTAIN ROY ARIGO 52:53 we need people on a regular basis because people do it for awhile and they basically move on to something else. :59

THE SETUP ALLOWS THE COUNTY TO *ONLY PAY FOR EXTRA HOURS- SAVING THE COST OF A BENEFITS PACKAGE THAT COMES WITH ADDING AN EXTRA EMPLOYEE.

JEFF MACIE 5:18 well they're probably doing that to save from paying people more benefits or whatever, so maybe it's a good thing in that aspect. :25

KEEPING THIS FLOOR FULLY STAFFED--

IN CASE *YOU SHOULD EVER NEED TO CALL FOR HELP.
