CITIZENS INSURANCE EXEC. PAY RAISES-REMLIVE

LAST YEAR CITIZENS HOME INSURANCE PREMIUMS INCREASED 10.8 PERCENT.

CITIZENS INSURANCE EXEC. PAY RAISES-BNR-PKG

Cindy gomez, covered by citizens property insurance

thank god we didn't have any claims but that doesn't give them the right to go and spend that money however they choose to 21

Cindy gomez pays thousands of dollars a year to insure her home in east naples. While she's working to keep up premiums THAT HAVE NEARLY DOUBLED for citizens property insurance-- the executives at the government-backed company are spending millions for luxury trips, hotel stays and lavish dinners--

they're also getting a pay raise.

Cindy gomez

3:45 shame on you. 4:10 why do you get to spend what you want when you want how you want and have no accountability 14

In january aN inspector general report found the company CFO went on a $35,000 tour through four different countries-- staying in four star hotels-- one in bermuda costing more than $600 a night.

these ridiculous premium increases and for what purpose so we can send them all to the golf course and out on trips and felandering around? 13

This year that same cfo, sharon binnun, is getting a $31,000 pay hike-- bumping her salary by 14 percent.

Another top exec, christine ashburn got a 24 percent salary increase-- she's now making $130,000 a year.

We are having trouble with trades workers. With skilled electrical people, mechanics. We are having trouble hiring people. We need to adjust t get back to the market.

HE ESTIMATES IT WOULD COST CLOSE TO 1 AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

The departments would be able to absorb it by not filling certain positions but they could do it.

COMMISSIONER FRANK MANN ISN'T SOLD.

it's hard for me to tak about across the board increases when we haven't balanced this budget in the last 5 or 6 years.

BUT MEURER HAS AT LEAST A FEW TAXPAYERS ON HIS SIDE.

They need a raise. You can ct the budget somewhere else. The employees need a raise. It's been 5 years.

TZ1 C) FORECAST TEASE-STC

COLD CROPS-VOTOPS-OC

WE JUST HAD OUR COLDEST MORNING SO FAR THIS YEAR IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

AND AT WORDEN FARM IN CHARLOTTE COUNTY. TOMATOES, EGGPLANT AND PEPPER PLANTS TOOK THE BRUNT OF THE DAMAGE FROM THE COLD SNAP.

FARMERS THERE EXPECT MORE DAMAGE TO BECOME VISIBLE OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS.

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.

A WARM UP IS ON THE WAY

It was definitely a cold start to the week, but thankfully it isn't going to last long. That is good news. After all, we don't live in Florida for cold weather, right? Right.

Well our official low at Page Field was 38 degrees Monday morning. Naples regional checked in at 40 degrees, but our inland communities were around the freezing mark. In fact some of our coldest fields were in the upper 20s.

Tuesday morning will have a different feel to it. Temperatures will be in the upper 40s to mid 50s.

The reason why we will see such a quick warm is because a high pressure is shifting into the Atlantic. That gives us a wind from the southeast which will draw in some warmer air.

So our high temperatures will creep up each and every day. Come this weekend we will be dealing with temperatures in the mid 80s! Lows will run in the 50s and 60s.

Mostly sunny skies will be the rule for us, too, and not a drop of rain.

INVESTIGATORS OPEN-CLIP

TOSS TO DAVE-VOTOPS-2SH

TONIGHT, AN INVESTIGATION THAT EVERY DRIVER NEEDS TO SEE.

THESE ARE UNDER-RIDE GUARDS-- BARRIERS ON THE BACKS OF SEMI TRUCKS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO STOP A CAR FROM GOING UNDER THEM IN A CRASH.

BUT THE NBC2 INVESTIGATORS UNCOVER - THEY'RE NOT WORKING.

THE GUARDS ARE FAILING AND AS A RESULT - PEOPLE ARE DYING.

UNDER RIDE GUARDS-TFC CTR

UNDER RIDE GUARDS-BNR-PKG

Sieni Eberhardt/ Husband Killed / 09:43:34 It was 2 O'clock in the morning.

OFFICER DONALD EBERHARDT WAS JUST OFF THE CLOCK.

09:39:32 It was dark. He was on his way home 09:39:35

COMING UP ON A SEMI -- BROKEN DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.

09:39:48 The truck driver did not do what he was supposed to do. 09:39:50

DONALD NEVER SAW IT COMING -

Seini / 09:43:46 The phone was ringing once. I got up and answered it.nobody was on the phone. 09:43:51

HIS CAR SLAMMING INTO THE BACK OF IT.

Seini / 09:44:09 At that time the police officers were on their way to my house. 09:44:23

HER HUSBAND OF XX YEARS - DIED INSTANTLY.

THE GUARD ON THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.

DESIGNED TO STOP CARS FROM SLIDING UNDERNEATH.

HAD FAILED.

Adrian Lund / 02:19 In crashes like this one into the back of a truck they don't have a chance. 02:22

THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY REPORTS 400 SUCH DEATHS A YEAR.

43 OF THEM IN FLORIDA ALONE.

TO PROVE IT'S POINT THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE CONDUCTED NUMEROUS CRASH TESTS WITH DEADLY RESULTS.

Lund / 01:34 This is a malibu after a 40mph crash with another car. 01:38 / 01:44 You can see there is lots of survival space

01:50 This is a malibu after it struck the rear end of a trailer with a weak underride guard at only 35 miles per hour. 01:56

PUSHING THE GUARD OUT OF THE WAY AND CUTTING THE CAR IN HALF.

02:42 The damage to the malibu was so severe that real people in this crash probably would have died. 02:45

transition to weigh station: Excuse me sir can I see your drivers licenses?

WE WERE THERE AS F-H-P TROOPERS CONDUCTED A RANDOM INSPECTION AT THE WEIGH STATION ON I-75.

Tim May/Florida Highway Safety / 07:50:28 We're looking to make sure that the underride protection meets federal requirements. 07:50:31

THE REQUIREMENTS AREN'T ALL THAT EXTENSIVE.

A TRUCK SIMPLY MUST HAVE ONE.

FHP Trooper: there's no test on the side of the road to determine the tencil strength of that metal.

Dave Elias/STANDUP / 07:59:01 Out of all the inspections the state conducted last year alone there were 29 violations that could be anything from inadequate underride guards to one that is damaged or worse yet.completely missing. 07:59:15

FEDERAL LAW REQUIRING THE GUARDS HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE THE 1950s.

BUT:

Insurance Institute / 01:05 The standard is not as strong as it could be. 01:08

WHILE CARS HAVE BECOME MORE CRASH WORTHY OVER THE YEARS - STANDARDS FOR UNDERRIDE GUARDS HAVEN'T KEPT PACE.

THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS BEEN SLOW TO ACT.

TELLING NBC2 THEY'RE CONDUCTING AN IN-DEPTH FIELD ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE HOW THEY CAN IMPROVE THE STANDARD TO SAVE LIVES.

BUT THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE BELIEVES THE FIX IS SIMPLE.

STRONGER REAR GUARDS LIKE THE ONES REQUIRED IN CANADA --

THAT HOLD UP BETTER IN A CRASH.

09:42:50 I beg whoever makes these trucks to please, just make it safe. 09:42:54

UNDER RIDE GUARDS-TFC CTR

I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT WHEN THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL SPOTS A FAULTY UNDERRIDE GUARD THERE ARE NO FINES INVOLVED FOR THE DRIVER OR COMPANY.

PETER QUESTION-1SH-TFC CTR-(2)SS

DAVE, WHAT DO TRUCKERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT YOUR INVESTIGATION?

THEY JUST RELEASED THIS STATEMENT TO ME SAYING.

"THE BEST WAY TO PREVENT THESE ACCIDENTS IS TO PREVENT CRASHES IN THE FIRST PLACE."
