People bitch about living in a shithole like StB and when a massive injection of jobs and dollars comes along, they say no not here. After the fact these clowns will wonder why Houston and Mobile’s container business runs circles around Nola’s. People want business but no side effects. St Bernard already was massively subsidized by the rest of the state and feds when they got dozens of miles of floodwall and flood gates. Then they wanted subsidization for their pumping and drainage system. Now they don’t want a huge economic driver that could help pay back the rest of the state.

Wetlands concerns? What a joke, it’s all land locked by suburbia and 4 lane roads. Not hiring enough locals? Joke. Every excuse they have is a joke. The filing they brought before the 19th JDC was a huge joke that looked like some 3rd graders wrote it. NIMBYs at their best here.

To some of these people, they don’t know there’s a “rest of the state”. They want to be big fish in a small pond and think outsiders will threaten their status and who they are

no, they won’t. They’ll (or their kids will) be commercial fishermen like a couple of dads before them. You have to live here to understand how isolated down the road is…

yeah, that was pretty terrible, I agree. All of the 19th's judges recused, which SOS probably wasn't thinking would happen. An ad hoc judge basically said "no".
