"The House is expected next week to pass legislation to extend the nation’s troubled flood insurance program until the end of of November, after lawmakers failed once again to reach a deal on reforming the program.
While the Senate plans to remain in session most of the summer, the House leaves town on Thursday and won’t return until after Labor Day. House lawmakers will leave without reaching a House-Senate agreement on reforming the National Flood Insurance Program.
Republicans and Democrats disagree over whether to move toward privatization of the program, which Democrats fear will lead to cherry-picking property owners that would leave the most vulnerable without coverage."
Susan Ferrechio reports for the Washington Examiner July 21, 2018.
