LOL. You must work at the plaintiff law firm from Corbello. So how much cleaner is that land all these years later? I'm sure all those millions went into remediation...
These legacy lawsuit lawyers are like OJ Simpson's dream team. Bottom feeders masquerading as Perry Mason for a day. No class.

Didn’t these contracts over the last 100 years require the oil companies to fill back all the access canals that we let them dig all over our coastal wetlands? The answer is yes, it was in the contracts.
——-
Once that material oxidized over the many years after it sat there, nothing was left to fill the canal with. To get material you would have to dredge it from water bottoms. Guess who is on those bottoms - oyster lease holders. This is a whole nother level of grifting. Move over car wrecks etc.

I think I heard Carmouche law firm out of Lafayette but I might be wrong. Either way it's what's wrong with our state and the trial lawyers that run it.

And Short Landry is having a hissy fit because the State is broke. Get Carmouche to pay for your government BS.

State/property owners knew Texaco wasn't remediating as required. Didn't enforce for decades.
Collected billions and billions in taxes and royalties.
Sues decades later, for a problem they knew about and let fester/get worse, what was overwhelming the result of other causes (levees, subsidence).
It's like I buy a Honda, run it for 10 years without ever changing the oil, filters, fluids, etc. Then suing Honda when the engine blows up in the interstate.
frick this state
frick these lawyers

95% of any money paid will disappear like a fart in a hurricane.

Did the state of Louisiana also get sued for issuing drilling permits that apparently destroyed the coastal wet lands

Yeah, you notice the state is never negligent in any of this? It’s always the evil big business that coincidentally paid unknown amounts of taxes and royalties to the very state that supports the litigation.
I see no reason why any business would ever choose to be here regardless of how big the tax incentives offered. At least not any large corporations. This place is a black hole of tort warfare.

Jeff Landry as Gov: "O&G needs to pay for legacy damages"
Enough of the liable parties have already quietly factored in these losses and are ready to move on. Their lawyers will be allowed to buzz around whining while piling up fees. So the Gov wins with any outcome. Except for minor players industry doesn't care and the lawyers on both sides get their cut.
Louisiana's love affair with oil should have ended when oil pulled the execs out of Lafayette.

Why does the state have to use outside attorneys for this and pay 30% or more of the settlement instead of using in house state attorneys that are on salary. I know the obvious answer is bc it’s a favor to the governors large contributors, but why do we allow them to do this.

If you dig canals through dry land and connect the canal to the GOM you get salt water where there was previously dry land.
Not if the levees don't exist. Then the Mississippi River would continue to flush that area with fresh water and new sediment.
This would prevent the salt water from the gulf from migrating north and add to the sediment budget. As mother nature intended. Without the levees the canals would likely fill back in over time.
The levees are the reasons for the salt water intrusion not the canals. Did they haul the dirt out of the area when they dug the canals? No, they likely just redistributed the sediment within the area which means there was no loss of sediment from the sediment budget.
Essentially our leaders decided that we wanted flood protection over fresh water marshes when we built the levees.

Why has the Oil Industry fled this state?
Companies need to be held accountable for the damage they cause, otherwise future generations won’t have a state to enjoy.
Besides oil companies can’t flee the state - this is where the oil is.
