I guess cliffs are just too precious to ask for.

Why? Pretty obviously, because Edwards wanted to be the guy doling out the contracts for that $3.2 billion. And if they’d hit the brakes on the project and properly digested that study, then the whole thing would have fallen to Landry and the engineers and consultants who threw big campaign bucks at Edwards wouldn’t have gotten their rewards, now would they?
Both JBE and Landy's "big campaign bucks" were from the same source: personal injury attorneys.

You're getting news from the hayride?

Probably the closest thing to the only honest reporting in the state commie.
Sorry if they’re not as honest as msdnc or the local networks that are as bad with the Marxist bullshite.

Even Nola.com had an article today about it that put JBE on the defensive

And for what? To have his hand on the money spigot coming out of that project for as long as he could.
This is the kind of thing somebody ought to go to jail for. The attorneys were openly discussing it in that memo, though there was a lot of whistling past that graveyard: “oh, it’ll be fine, but maybe it’s a risk that we’ll get pinched for this.”
If the Trump Justice Department wants to take a scalp or two and opens an investigation into Edwards and his cronies for what they did here, that wouldn’t be a bad thing at all.

Sometimes yes, but they have been carrying Landry's water for over a decade and never reporting his sins, which are well known.
They don't know shiite from shinola about business, manufacturing, oil/gas etc... McKay was big mad that we ran Exxon's new ethylene cracker to Corpus but it was always going to be there. Exxon just played Louisiana to get more from Texas. The NGL;s feedstock ain't coming from Louisiana, but from Permian and Eagleford.
Lejeune dude is paranoid AF. There is a conspiracy to take his Catholicism away from him.

They threw out the study that had sea level rise due to global warming heavily factored in after the corps told them it wasn't necessary.

You are FOS. I was heavily involved in this project, and can tell you this is 100% false. DumBel told the President of XOM Chemical that he had enough petrochemical plants in Louisiana, and he could take the project to Texas for all he cared.

This sounds more plausible from sloth to be honest. Exxon has had a very strong presence in Louisiana for decades upon decades. Leftisrs, hate industry. That’s a publicly known fact. I work for the owner operators as my profession including all the refinery owners from Baton Rouge to New Orleans.

The Hayride has criticized Landry for his association with trial lawyers. It is the only local news media that has exposed JBE
Posted on 5/7/25 at 8:30 am to Optimism
Glad he did. I held my nose voting for that coon arse in a suit. That fact he went hunting with McKernan tells everyone all they need to know about Landry.

How 'bout some excerpts to go with you link?

Tulsi Gabbard recently released a fully unredacted version of the prior administration’s "Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism." The June 2021 memo exposed for the first time the law enforcement and intelligence framework that led the FBI to monitor and probe conservative Catholics and parents who protested against some school board policies and justified Homeland Security to engage in censorship or debanking of Americans the administration considered to be potential enemies of the state.

Would you want to pay for pipeline transport to Baton Rouge or to Corpus? Now Exxon is about to build another at Point Comfort.
The Hayride thought we had an advantage because of Haynesville play because they think all natural gas is the same and don't understand what feedstock is used for ethylene crackers.
I get the IPA plant which a biz client was over the project when first built in BTR using Propylene from Cat Cracker gases initially.
