A coalition of environmental and conservative groups, backed by a consortium of insurance interests, has joined forces to fight legislation to create a federal catastrophe insurance pool.
As part of their effort, an official from the Sierra Club and a member of the Competitive Enterprise Institute launched a new Web site for the coalition–Americans for Smart Natural Catastrophe Policy. The new Web site and renamed group is SmarterSafer.org.
Last week's launch also served as an opening salvo against legislation introduced in the House last month by Rep. Ron Klein, D-Fla, that would allow states to create a national catastrophe insurance pool.
