however if the MS river wouldnt have levees, there wouldnt be any problem


and it's not just the Louisiana levees. Many upper portions of the river have concrete levees which cause a significant reduction in sediment flowing down the river to begin with.

Sure the oil companies cut up our coast, but we let them.

this. These deals were all cut years ago between the oil companies and whatever politician was in office. the levee board seems like they are just trying for a money grab IMO. In any event, i'm sure the oil companies can tie this suit up for about 30 years. La.'s coast line will be around Gardere by the time this is settled.
