Opening the spillway helps the ms river levee system below the control structure. That's it. Everything down that way is going to be affected my dramatically increased flow in the atchafalaya
This is just not true. Most of the damage being done is backwater off river flooding - other side of the levee- which cant go anywhere because of the high river. Opening Morganza will not only lower the river but almost overnight take this backwater out.
Its sad when politics gets involved but this is very much the case with Morganza. There is a lot of big money invested in camps/farmland in Morganza and there were several times in the last 4-5 years when it should have been opened and it wasn't.

I think you are mistaken on the conversation. They are talking about the water around Pierre Part, Stevensville and Morgan city area. Opening the Morganza will not in any way help these areas and could in fact hurt.
