Odd that you bring up politics, because the stupidity of effectively making a bowl, filling it with water, being surprised it is wet and demanding your neighbors towel seems like a certain demographic.
On one hand, I agree that EBR has been completely derelict on ensuring that these watersheds can handle new developments.
On the other, comparing EBR to Iberville in terms of central planning is also ridiculous because no one wants to develop that parish at even remotely the same pace as EBR.
I see why Ourso is doing what he's doing, it's just kind of ridiculous to dam off an area that could be used to alleviate a lot of problems.

Using dams to protect neighborhoods or even a small grouping of homes is one thing. Using it to block 2/3rds of an massive floodway is way over the line.
This guy is also demanding that the new bridge be in Iberville and refuses to cooperate or support with any route that doesn’t involve a bridge between the two sections of Iberville Parish on either side of the river. He wants a bridge for locals similar to what New Roads got, not a southern bypass around Baton Rouge.
More Regional cooperation is needed for mega projects like this, and Ourso is often a huge impediment to that.
