They had to get a judge to stop them last time, but IMO the state needs to intervene and ensure that this doesn’t happen again. Spanish Lake is a natural reservoir for these kinds of floods
EBR can direct as much water as it wants down that path due to over or ill-planned development just because it is a natural pathway for water?

It’s a natural pathway. They aren’t directing anything. But they are dredging and clearing bayous (rarely....maintenance isn’t really something EBR is good at) that will move water into it faster.
IMO this is a very good case where a regional flood plan needs to be adopted and adhered to, with state backing on relocating people in floodways if necessary.
