ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. — Citizens Insurance policyholders who are receiving letters urging them to transfer to a private insurance company are turning down the offer under certain circumstances. Lori Lanni of Royal Palm Beach recently received a letter from citizens. "My first reaction was upset because I thought I was going to have to pay the higher premium, which is $2,000 more than I expected," Lanni said. Under state rules, Lanni can and did refuse the higher offer, based on what she's paying for Citizens Insurance and the offer to change insurers.
