Chuck,
I've paid for flood insurance as long as I have lived where I live.
If you would like to campaign to get the US government out of the
business of subsidizing flood insurance, I will be happy to pay for
the privatized version of it. I'm sure I can get a good rate based on
a .2 % risk and my "survival record," plus I could probably negotiate
a higher or lower deductible. But the best part is that then I could
also organize private and class action law suits, currently not
allowed, against the DNR and various governmental agencies when I
consider that they have screwed up outflows from the reservoirs,
levees that I don't like, and that kind of thing, and get all those
private insurance lawyers involved. Please let me know how it goes so
I can start to think about how I want to spend all the settlement
money. So many public servants to sue, so little time.
