Still too much risk in the Beach Plan

he hurricane season is heating up, as it often does in the fall. Hurricane Bill is heading west, and while it may not make landfall, any storm conjures images in our state of Hurricane Floyd, whose 10th anniversary is noted this year.Even as the storm season gets busier, Gov. Beverly Perdue will likely approve changes to the state's coastal insurance system that the legislature approved this session. Own a house at the beach? You continue to benefit from state-sponsored below-market insurance rates. As for the rest of us, we remain on the hook for damages to beach properties we do not own. The changes that the governor will enact do not go far enough to reduce this subsidy, which means that you and I will likely be paying for that insurance, sooner or later.
