Before going home for Memorial Day, Louisiana House members Thursday introduced legislation aimed at forestalling major increases in flood program rates starting next year.
The bill is part of an ongoing effort to delay the rate increases mandated through the Biggert-Waters Act, a title added to transportation legislation enacted by Congress last July.
And Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., didn't leave town today before getting into the act by introducing legislation in the Senate that would also delay the increases. And he picked up fellow New Jersey senator Robert Lautenberg, D, as a co-sponsor as well.
