$2.5 billion in taxpayer money for dredging costs over 50 years
We just turned down $3 Billion from the BP settlement, that could now go to other states, for an erosion mitigation project because it might cost us $50 Million a year out of an annual $50 Billion budget to maintain it.
Oh…and because oyster fishermen may not be able to continue forming oysters where there actually used to be real dry land.
Come on, man. Don’t you realize how brilliant this move is?

We were awarded our portion of the project in March of 2024

Then the Army Corps of Engineers pulled the permit
They pulled the permit because Landry and Dove begged them to.

Starting with this, your entire post is wrong. Heres the quotes from the letter
quote:
"This suspension is based on the state's actions (including failures to act or to obtain compromise), its public statements and positions, the new information and potentially changed circumstances since permit issuance," Army Corps Col. Cullen Jones wrote in the latest letter, addressed to CPRA Chairman Gordon Dove.
The agency stated that during the permit evaluation, the Edwards administration withheld information it knew would be important for regulators to assess environmental impacts. The Corps also said the state failed to secure local flood insurance compliance
The Army Coprs singled out the Edwards admin. Quit shilling for those bozos

MVM asks the State to furnish the previously withheld June 3, 2022 FTN Modeling Report
Who was governor in 2022? The only thing in the ACoE letter that Landry was a part of was not guaranteeing the state funding for 50 years of dredging. And the benefit only SLIGHTLY outweighed the negative consequences of the diversion. And that diversion is a new science, and the withholding of the modeling report severely undermined their ability to properly assess. Its right there in the letter.

No they didn't. The author of that article did. Notice the lack of quotations like other comments by Colonel Jones.

So? You think the governor personally did this? You big dummy.

His admin did it. HIS admin. People he put in those offices
Landrys admin found the intentional deception, and forwarded it to the ACoE. They cancelled the permit. JBE sucks and screwed this state over and over and over again. Groomers like you dont understand how politics works
Youre not a dummy, youre an idiot
