That's because CPRA Chairman Gordy Dove wants the project to fail, but doesn't want it look like it's his fault.
Correct.

Garrett Graves would make a good governor. Middle of the road leaning conservative. I'd take JBE back in a minute over what we now have.

Understatement of the year. I am truly shocked at the level of unbridled stupidity this guy operates under. It makes zero sense based on a basic review of his background/history.
He's just another Jindal (worse). He's virtue signaling for a higher gig.

Or a Mardi Gras and Neptune pass on the westbank
Would never be allowed to happen because then the government would have to do forced buyouts of all the residents and businesses down there.
MG and Neptune Passes are both further down river than any roads, houses, or businesses. Wouldn't be the case on the west bank side.

Seems to be the only state rep trying to protect Louisiana's interests and not concerned with fighting the culture war.
Maybe I'm wrong, but if his (and Carter's) Offshore Parity Act passes, then it could be a huge boon for Louisiana. Expanding state waters to 9 miles offshore would be a major win for Graves and the State. It is my understanding that O&G, etc. revenue from the extended area will be kept in-state instead of being shared through GOMESA.

would create 21 square miles of land over 50 years

That’s all?
I feel I am forced to point out the obvious fact that the deposition doesn’t just stop after 50 years and all we get is 21 square miles.
The sedimentation continues on indefinitely building land farther out and a distributary after hundreds of years is formed. Maybe even past Grand Isle.

Do y’all know how small 21 square miles is?

Computer models show the diversion on the Plaquemines Parish West Bank would create 21 square miles of land over 50 years.

The sediment diverting from this project will eliminate the land losses in the Barataria area in addition to actually building back land. Obviously, the 30-35 square miles that LA loses every year are not limited to just this area, but this project would start naturally building back some of those losses starting in the area and then slowly spreading - and like someone said earlier, it does not stop after a certain number of years. It keeps going and the project was designed to have as little maintenance as possible once built.

Crab bucket mentality is alive and well here. From the streets of BR and NOLA to the state level politics, it is alive and well.

I don’t think everything past Belle Chasse is worth $3 billion combined excepting the mineral rights

Reading this board and reading Landry's opposition remarks, somebody is off and misunderstanding the numbers.
This board says the $3 billion is from BP and wouldnt cost the taxpayers. Landry is saying delays have pushed the project cost over the years from around $1.5 billion to more than $3 billion,. He predicted costs above $2.9 billion would be put on the tax payer.
If Landry is telling the truth, that $3 billion is already basically spent because of the delays. That means an additional $2.9 billion to taxpayers.
Can anybody clarify or am I reading this incorrectly?

Around $500 million has already been spent. The $3 billion is the total cost of the project and that full amount has already been allocated towards the project.

This is going to sound crazy at first, but I think it's an apt analogy.
The objections to this project are reminding me of John Schwegmann's objections to the Superdome. The original estimate was around $32 million, but because he drug things out for several years, the price kept going up.
The longer this drags out, the higher the price is going to be. My brother lives in Jesuit Bend and fishes and shrimps (along with my nephew). He called me and told me there is one oysterman leading the opposition. Typical conduct of an oysterman from that part of the world, trying to maximize his payoff.

This is correct - anything over the allocated 2.9 or 3 billion or however much would (at this point) be owed by the state.
