This guy absolutely does not look like the prototypical, greedy, gluttonous Louisiana politician. Not at all.

Most of the clowns crying about this don't realize this project does jack shite. Look how pathetic this land growth is after 45 years.
That has always been the strangest thing about it to me. Setting aside that the State decided to go forward with it, it doesn't really seem like it does a damned thing, and definitely not worth $3b.

could be nullified by the fact that the contractor did not apply for the necessary parish permits.
So the parish wanted 46 million dollars. just to build in their parish....

No! It was totally a legitimate concern for the Parish......so concerning was it to the Parish that they waited several years until Jeff Landry was elected and the contractor started work to decide they wanted a permit.

You realize State/parish employees are obligated to do what elected officials legally order, right?
Correct.
If you start penalizing the entire system I promise their own workers will start moving their non used feet, hands, and brains to get rid of the only educated in Louisiana crowd that has been funneling money to the same families since the turn of the 20th century.
There's a reason your poverty spread is so great in this state. Fact, not an opinion.

underestimated his stupidity.
If they have been a part of the State, Parish, or Local government for almost their entire lives they are stupid, I'm sorry to say it like that but its true. Trust me, stupid. They only act based upon the little information they have in their little parish or city. Most havent traveled or lived in other places so they have no life experience to make educated decisions. They do not utilize the wonderful world of technology to innovate and make the processes and procedures better.
All of these reasons, plus many other stupid political decisions such as ITEP has created a lackluster state with even more lackluster leadership.

Hey boat... what do you do for a living? because all the people, left and right, who do this for a living cam to the conclusion after decades of research that this is the best way. So tell me what your dissertation was on so we can see if we should take you seriously.

I'm guessing now that this one ground to a halt and appears doomed, that Mid-Breton will be killed in the womb as well. I know Mississippi was gearing up to raise all hell for that one.

Think about how many more rocks we can put on the barrier islands with the old Christmas trees now though.

That’s how the CMAR statute reads…not how CMAR works in reality. The contract 100% allows for change orders. The contract also allows the State to cancel at any time with no recourse in the event of litigation. Have you read the contract?
