3 billion for 21 square miles over 50 years doesn't sound like a good use of taxpayer money .

That was my thought. I would like to see a graph of projected money spent vs land added. There has to be a better value in there than that.

He did correct on this, for sure. frick diversion canals. You should dig deeper
You should dig deeper, only a moron would oppose this specific project on cultural grounds.

You also have to factor in how much we'd lose without it.

Yet people will still live and work there when there are 49 better options. Who’s the real idiots?

I liked Sharon Hewitt but apparently she didn’t kiss enough asses and cut corners enough like Landry. Look at Landrys background.
The whole fiasco with his roommates and the cocaine should have easily disqualified him from the governor race but nope. Not in Louisiana. You can’t seriously tell me that someone had no idea their roommate was smuggling $10K worth of coke and hiding it under their home. Not buying that.

I think if JBE decided to run again, he would effectively one-term Gov Landry. He’d get all the Dem vote and I think he could siphon enough independent/jaded-GOP votes to win it fairly handedly
I could see Landry being a one term governor.
I don't see JBE winning again.

I have listened to both sides of this and to potentially get 21 miles over 50 years and possibly destroy our fishing industry may not be worth it. The opponents say we can dredge and use thats to build land without damage to the fishing industry and make more land cheaper. Let’s be honest as very few people on this board include myself are coastal engineers or commercial, fisherman, and really understand the impact of this to really give a opinion whether there is the right move or not

Gov idiot is probably going to divert the money to more studies on the BR Loop and just drain us of our BP money.
Sidenote; anyone ever notice the random shootings in I-110 is in front to the Gov. mansion. I think wbrz did an article on it

He still hasn’t done shiet for import shrimp dumping into the market. The oyster mafia will adapt, it won’t kill their industry. They control the prices and all levels of distribution.

The alternative (dredging) is cheaper, with less land creation, and an estimated 20-30 years before the state would have to do it again.
It is insulting to watch the Senate hearing from last week. Landry really thinks we're that dumb and will swallow his bullshite with a smile on our face.

Just about every question or concern that could be asked has been addressed and/or has mitigation funds assigned.
State general funds are not being used. The diversion is funded by BP money and federal money. Both of which are use it or lose it.

They using BP funds for mitigation, but what if they destroy the industry permanently again this may be a great project, but my guess is it would not be as successful as they say and cause a lot of potential harm when there are probably safer and cheaper ways to do it with less environmental harm. Even though he is a corrupt politician Billy Nungesser has been in radio for years arguing against this. I don’t trust any Louisiana politicians opinion on this project so I really don’t know what the right answer is, but I am fearful that this project would open up Pandora’s box and be a potential catastrophe. Any commercial fishermen or coastal engineer on the board who can give us their opinion?

Why are you trusting Billy Nungesser and "Might as Well Be Troy" Landry over hundreds of engineers and scientists?

This project was an attempt to recreate, in small measure, the natural process that literally built south Louisiana. Constraining the Mississippi River within the levee system signed the death warrant for the state. Digging canals throughout the area allowed salt water intrusion and has accelerated the land loss, but make no mistake, it is SUBSIDENCE coupled with no new sediment that is killing south Louisiana.

I think he does. He sure acts like it. Made several bad PR decisions in a very short period of time that make him look like an idiot and he doesn't seem to notice or care or both.

Billy Nungesser is a freakin' retard. No one with a lick of sense listens to that buffoon. There's a reason his fat arse didn't run for governor to replace JBE.

He doubles down and lashes out at his opponents for calling him out. The man is stupid.
