Look to the Senate for the future of flood insurance

There’s a big deadline coming up for flood insurance in September. And in a shock to no one, Congress will not be meeting it.

That’s not to say Congress is sitting on its hands, though. Lawmakers and top staffers are slowly working toward something that resembles real reform of the National Flood Insurance Program. You just need to know where to look. And these days, that place is the Senate Banking Committee.
