So I'm guessing the $3B will go to dredging companies, barging/trucking companies, and pipeline construction companies as we will start trying to dredge the dirt out of the river, and barge / truck / pipe it to try to build land elsewhere


Perfectly reasonable answer, but the settlement allows for "economic restoration". MS has used some BP money for a Coastal Coliseum and a fairgrounds revamp.

Maybe Louisiana can use the diversion money for both a new LSU area and a new River Center area?

I would hope it would be at least used towards areas that suffered from the disaster. Not sure how much we can say LSU and downtown BR suffered.

Who needs a coastline when we can have a new LSU arena!

The idiots tanking this project probably don't understand the differences between subsidence and erosion and what's actually causing the issues we have.
