WEIRTON, W.Va. — West Virginia legislative leaders plan to talk to members of Congress about the rising cost of flood insurance.

House Speaker Tim Miley says state residents and small business owners have been hit with “shockingly high” flood insurance costs since Congress revised the National Flood Insurance Program in 2012. The changes were intended to bolster the program, which state officials say is deeply in debt after Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina.
