Shelley Moore Capito: “I think that we could work within existing regulatory and administrative offices to try to accomplish the same thing.…”

On the recordJuly 15, 2010
I think that we could work within existing regulatory and administrative offices to try to accomplish the same thing. FEMA has assured us that they have already a functioning appeals process, and on top of an Inspector General and continual GAO oversight of the NFIP program. So I think that the advocacy office itself is representing some duplicative and unnecessary bureaucracy and spending.
