    TALLAHASSEE — Coming up with solutions to Florida’s homeowners insurance crisis has been primarily the purview of state legislators and Gov. Ron DeSantis.

    But this week, a new group of Republican mayors is out with ideas of its own.

    The Florida Republican Mayors Public Policy Association is endorsing two bills in Congress that would provide tax breaks for victims of disasters and those who buy flood insurance.

    The endorsements, which were sent to Florida’s legislative delegation this week, are the first official proposals by the organization, whose members include Hialeah Mayor Esteban Bovo, who is its chairperson, and Clearwater Mayor Bruce Rector.
