re: Mississippi River spillways have kept Louisiana dry and safe. That may no longer be enough

I’m done with Oyster fisherman having this much political clout.

So do we get to sue all the states to the north who send all that downriver?

Oyester mafia strikes again.

Why does our water management, ecosystem,and economy have to be held hostage constantly by a bunch of good ole baws who might collectively contribute a few tens of millions of dollars to the economy because they don't want to move 10 miles?

Louisiana probably could if fertilizer runoff was regulated.

But it's not, and likely never will be.


ETA:

The USDA has a voluntary nutrient reduction program for the Mississippi:

Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative (MRBI)

Everything is more important than the oyster industry. I’m so sick and tired of pandering to such a tiny subset within a small industry. We are constantly held captive by commercial fishermen, specifically, but not limited to, oyster men. frick em dead. And this cocksucker isn’t even in the state. But they bitch and moan like third graders denied a recess. Flood those whiny frickers out of business. They can move to better fishing grounds just like any other industry has to move to find work.
