NEW YORK--A change in the make-up of Congress may not help advocates pushing for creation of federal and state catastrophe fund programs, the head of a group campaigning for the concept said at a press conference here.
Speaking today on the steps of City Hall in Manhattan, James Lee Witt, chief executive officer of Witt Associates and national co-chairman of ProtectingAmerican.org, said it's "hard to say" if the Democrats take over Congress if it would be more advantageous to passage of a national catastrophe program.
"This is not a political issue," he said. "It should be bi-partisan. Catastrophes are a concern to both Democrats and Republicans."
