Bond Leads Opposition to Flood Reform Bill
In Washington a Senate effort to reform flood controls on the Missouri River stalls as Sen. Christopher Bond and five Republicans plus one Democrat urge delaying the measure for full hearings. The bill, pushed by Senator Max Baucus, would expand buyouts in flood-prone areas, require flood insurance for levee-protected properties, and boost wetlands and endangered species habitat, including pallid sturgeon. Bond cites stakes and seeks time for study, with Dole and Kassebaum among signatories and Shelby of Alabama also backing the hold.
