hey westley,
 
i heard this same show on wwl and i cannot remember the legislators names,
but they were irate about the fact that insurance should not be deducted.  i
remember one guy saying "i cannot believe that you would penalize someone
who was smart enough, and able enough to get flood insurance by deducting
this from their proceeds.  he was very angry at whatever meeting wwl took
the excerpt from.  anyway, i heard the same thing that it was passed
unanimously by the house and that the amendment was attached to the original
bill and was sent back to the senate.  i feel like this was about a 3 weeks
to a month ago.......let me know if you find out anything, you are a much
better investigator than i am!!!
 
thanks,
 
nancy

  I can't find any information on the internet, but I'm also only looking
  while I'm at work. I do specifically remember that on WWL they ran a story
  that one or two of the senators (can't remember who) strongly opposed the
  deduction of insurance and proposed the admendment. Then they said that
the
  House voted unanimously for it and it was tacked on and passed the House.
  Then it went back to the Senate. that was the last I heard of it. I
couldn't
  find any concrete information, but like I said, I'm not searching that
well.
  All I keep finding is that its in the Senate so they could vote on "new
  language added in by the House". I'll keep looking and let you know when I
  find anything. With our luck, if the darn thing passes, we'll have to pay
  the government to buy our houses.
