It would seem to me there would be a really big drop-off in your premium because the risk would be so much less.

So here you have the problem of people paying their levee taxes... and then also having to pay flood insurance.

I have heard mention of the 100-year level of protection and the 100-year flood and how it is portrayed on the maps.

The taxpayers, State, local, Federal taxpayers, have invested something like $32 billion, or maybe more, in that levee system.

Thank you for working on this issue as diligently as you have been.

In Arkansas, we don't have a Base Flood Elevation. It is not determined.

What would happen if, say, hypothetically, there is a district that is not in yours, but in an adjacent district that may have a problem?

Thank you for your leadership, and I am glad you were able to stay as long as you did.

I appreciate that the fact that FEMA and the Army Corps have at least come to Great Falls to do some community outreach, and we are grateful to Senator Tester for his work to help bring representatives from these agencies to hear firsthand…

It should not take the personal intervention of a U.S. Senator for FEMA and the Army Corps to work together to hear from folks and to come up with some decisions.

Can you tell us why you have gone to the Shaded Zone X?

If my constituents are frustrated, that means I am frustrated.
