All of these threads are dramatic, it’s what those folks do.

I’m glad to be in that number.

Who is leading it then?


That's a fair question to which I don't have an answer.

This matter is now heading to the House Natural Resources and Environment Committee which has a few possible outcomes.

It's my understanding that the Committe Chair determines whether to hold a hearing. If it is scheduled, LDWF officials must appear before the committee to present and answer questions. If the Chairman does not schedule it, the rule typically moves forward without a hearing.

The Committee Chair is Brett F. Geymann and Joseph A. Orgeron - Vice Chair (he's an ally for us, not the menhaden industry)

Geymann has accepted campaign contributions from Omega Protein, Orgeron has not. (according to public record)

don't trust the CCA of Louisiana,


I feel this should be restated to say "I don't trust CCA of Louisiana to properly lead the effort against the Menhaden industry."

CCA and David Cresson had leverage and momentum during the October 2023 commission with a proposed NOI 1-mile coastwise buffer with 3 miles in parts of Cameron while maintaining 3-mile around the Grand Isle area. Ultimately, the original NOI was amended early 2024, and called for a 1/2-mile coast wide buffer. This was after a meeting between CCA, Daybrook and Omega to 'negotiate' a reasonable outcome.

CCA does a good job with initiatives like the STAR Tournament, regional meetings, and the REEF Louisiana program; however, they should not be perceived as leading the effort against the menhaden industry, especially as conditions surrounding the issue appear to be worsening rather than improving.
We take at least one trip a year to a Disney park. We use points for our flights and hotel. Every little bit helps to offset the cost. We've stayed at the Hilton properties across from Disney Springs and ride share to the parks. Park tickets are the most expensive cost of the trip.
Those call centers will be a hell of a lot closer. :lol:

That's ridiculously inexpensive. It's (for an Uber Black) $90 from MCO to almost any hotel on I-Drive.

This is a true statement.
Add curtain rod locations to your list. You'd be surprised at the weight of custom drapery installed in rooms with 12' ceilings.

Also, 3/4 plywood flush mounted between studs for blocking is completely adequate to support almost anything in your home.

Here's the latest...

Representative Joe Orgeron, Vice Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, stepped up. On February 11th, he formally requested an oversight hearing to increase transparency and ensure that all public comments were made available to committee members.

An oversight hearing would have been a strong outcome for this cause. Instead, the Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee (Rep. Brett F. Geymann) directed the matter into the standard legislative process.

Unfortunately, that changes the dynamic. An oversight hearing would have required agency testimony under oath, formally entered public comments into the committee record, and allowed legislators to directly question LDWF.

As it stands, this will now proceed through the regular legislative process — which, in my view, is a total FAIL.

CCA loses leverage and so do we.
