EWE said it right, they might change parties in LA, but they don’t change their mindset.

At least we won't have any homosexual books in our libraries.

Absolutely, it’s unbelievable what they’ve done with reclaiming land and in Rotterdam. It’s a shame we didn’t, and haven’t send people over there ever since their projects started bearing fruit.

This is more on Landry than CPRA. He wants to consolidate CPRA with DNR.

FOLLOW THE MONEY!

1. Make the diversion...who gets that $3 billion?

2. Don't make the diversion... who gets the $3 billion?

Looks like option 2 people have taken control.

Reclaiming land is not a problem. The problem is the opportunity cost of doing it. And the money should be a concern, but we don’t care in the US about that.

His most redeeming quality was that he would "stick it to the libs" and that's good enough for the vast majority of this state


And Landry had been to Mar-a-Lago. Don't forget about that. A trip to Lago in this state is far more important than where a candidate stands on actual policy. For eight years, I read post after post on this board whining about the trial lawyers who supported and aided JBE. Same group also supported Landry. Crickets.

There really is not much to learn about how mother nature acts. Scientists have studied it for 50 years and still get it wrong lol

Some are stupid and incompetent, the rest are in it for themselves. Make no mistake, there might be 5 politicians out of 1000s that actually have the people in mind.

If someone offered me 10mil dollars to turn down the diversion, there wouldn't be a diversion.

What does the data say? Do you have links?

I'm talking about knuckleheads.

There are fishermen etc who would be thrilled with the prospect of catching reds closer to home.

Yes, they are dumb as a pile of bricks.

Maybe you can answer my question… How much storm surge does the diversion reduce?

Most of the $3B is coming from the feds and from the Deepwater Horizon settlement... all of which have restrictions relating to the money needs to be used for coastal restoration.

So I'm guessing the $3B will go to dredging companies, barging/trucking companies, and pipeline construction companies as we will start trying to dredge the dirt out of the river, and barge / truck / pipe it to try to build land elsewhere.
