I guess you could say that, more pissed that it's a frivolous lawsuit, and even if dollar one is generated it will be gobbled up by the ambulance chasers who are moving forward with the suit. Is he speaking out against the Federal Government who's levees share just as much, if not more blame than the canals that were dug by the oil and gas companies?
Why is it frivolous?
I would not be surprised to hear him speak out about the Corps practices at some point.

really i have to spell out the damage they do to this state? they polute our air they cut and dig canals that lead to costal errosion and they dont even deny it. have you seen our coast lately? the amount of unsed oil pipelines running thru the marsh is crazy.

Yeap........fish quite often. How are the receding barrier islands the fault of O&G companies?

Look who donates money and materials to build reefs along our coast.
We wouldn't need to build reefs if the energy industry hadn't shredded our wetlands with canals and pipelines for the past 80 years.

that falls on the corps but thats another thread. do you really believe the oil and gas companies do know damage to our state?

It's baseless like a bunch of these legacy lawsuits are. Nothing more than a money grab...if they wanted to go after the real culprit they should go after the Feds who built the levees.

Oh wow........the ignorance keeps getting more and more in this thread.
What does artificial reefs off our coast for OFFSHORE fish habitat have anything to do with canals and pipelines?

When he was here in Lake Charles, said SASOL had no right to be here( invest 7 billion dollars) because they had no body on board of directors living in the area. Kinda of reminded me of AL SHARPTON.
Must have been on the FAST TRACK, in the army.
expect him to run for state office soon

Certainly the feds are to blame. Not just for the levees but for federally (un)maintained navigation channels all over the coast.
The idea that the oil and gas companies should not be responsible for their share is laughable though.
I agree that it is a money grab. That said, restoring the coast is really expensive and someone partially responsible should foot at least part of the bill.

I think the OP was talking about rebuilding barrier islands not sinking a few oil rigs to provide fish habitat.

A lions share of the money generated by this suit will be taken by the lawyers, and thus the money going to actually restore the coast will be far less than what's being advertised.
Currently the state is set to begin receiving higher royalties which will help with some of these coasts, and if I'm not mistaken money has been appropriated for the Restoration Master Plan. The real problem is that we have too damn many studies going on and not enough actual action restoring the coast.
Hell for my 2 cents they would take an outside-inside approach....beef up the barrier islands, create new ones like they did in Dubai...and then work on beefing up the marshes.

When he said something you didn't agree with.

Fortunately with the current climate in the state he'll be a laughingstock.

There has not been $ appropriated for the Master Plan. All the large efforts at the moment are being funded by BP dollars.
There is a large emphasis on building barrier islands. Nearly all will be rebuilt (at least the ones that are rebuildable). Then hopefully river diversions will add sediment back to the system

The lawyers were specifically instructed by the SELFPA they could only go after oil and gas, no governmental entities, no timber, no agriculture, no trapping, no developers, municipal corporations, etc.
The suit is not designed to solve a problem it is to find a deep pocket for ecologist.
And Honore is an affirmative action general, if the Southern grad were White he would have never even been commissioned even during Vietnam.
Too be charitable he isn't very bright.

Give me an honest affirmative-action guy any day over the Rhodes scholar snake we have now.

The one that has brought countless companies to the state and has our unemployment rate as one of the lowest in the nation? Terrible job......I would love to know how your moron would pay the bills without the energy industry.

He's 67 years old - I expect him to keep making money as a consultant or whatever he does for a living now (lobbyist?) - he's way too old to be starting a political career.
I like the guy, but he's a wingnut.
