Floodplain law push aims to curb Pennsylvania flood risk
In a bid to curb flood damage, Sen. Martin L. Murray and Sen. Franklin St. Kury push floodplain management legislation. Past sessions saw bills die in the House despite Senate approval in 1973-74 and 1975-76. Opponents include developers and local officials who fear overreach by the Environmental Resources Department. Murray and Kury back local control and propose counter-proposals to harmonize views while preserving local authority.
