"Shifting the burden of flood-control projects to local agencies could backfire on the state if cash-strapped local governments can't come up with the money. Building better flood protection not only helps a local community, it helps the entire state avoid the prospect of paying the enormous cleanup costs from flooding that could have been prevented."
