July 17, 2014

“Terrorism is a reality, particularly in places like New York and TRIA is one of the 21st Century tools we rely on to protect jobs and the economy,” said Kathryn Wylde, President & CEO of the Partnership for New York City.  “Senator Schumer and Members of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee have crafted a bill that allows insurers, employers, and property owners to manage the terrorism risk. The House should follow the Senate’s lead and pass a bill that maintains the current structure of this essential program without delay.”
