Landry Announces State Lawsuit Against FEMA Over Flood Insurance Costs

The state of Louisiana is suing FEMA over the cost of federal flood insurance.

Attorney General Jeff Landry and other leaders announced the lawsuit on Thursday.

Landry says the aim of the lawsuit is to protect homeowners and small business owners in Louisiana from the rising costs of flood insurance.

Landry stated, "FEMA's flawed flood insurance formula will force Louisiana families and homeowners into bankruptcy or foreclosure."
