路易斯安那州州长要求LWCC利用盈余资助屋顶补贴, Louisiana’s governor asks LWCC to fund roof grants using surplus to combat rising insurance costs.

路易斯安那州州长杰夫·兰德里(Jeff Landry)要求国家创建的LWCC保险公司利用其财务储备来帮助为房主提供加固屋顶的资金,以缓解目前房主保险危机。 Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has asked the state-created LWCC insurer to use its financial reserves to help fund fortified roofs for homeowners, aiming to ease the ongoing homeowners insurance crisis. Landry在2026年2月25日的一封信中强调了LWCC的强劲财务状况 — — 资产16亿美元,盈余9.01亿美元 — — 并敦促它支持国家每年3 000万美元的屋顶补助金计划,该计划有助于降低保险费。 In a letter dated February 25, 2026, Landry highlighted LWCC’s strong financial position—$1.6 billion in assets and a $901 million surplus—and urged it to support the state’s $30 million annual roof grant program, which helps reduce insurance premiums. 要求提供具体的资金细节, 但这也引发了法律权力问题, 因为LWCC在住宅保险中的作用尚不清楚, 可能需要立法批准. The request, which lacks specific funding details, raises questions about legal authority, as LWCC’s role in residential insurance is unclear and may require legislative approval. 尽管做出了税收抵免和彩票赠款制度等努力,但只有大约20%的申请人获得援助。 Despite efforts like tax credits and a lottery-based grant system, only about 20% of applicants receive aid. 推力反映了Landry方针的转变,因为他先前避免直接参与,但现在却支持采取措施,解决气候风险和再保险成本引起的保险费上涨问题。 The push reflects a shift in Landry’s approach, as he previously avoided direct involvement but now supports measures to address rising premiums driven by climate risks and reinsurance costs.
