Founder Rosenthal featured in Power Poll

Friday, June 7th, 2024

This month, founder Sandy Rosenthal was featured in the Drew Broach’s PowerPoll.

Power Poll was founded in 2019 as a civic engagement platform that brings together the most influential and powerful leaders across business, civic, media and political industries.

This month, Rosenthal responded to this question: Should Republican Gov. Jeff Landry merge the state’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority into the Department of Energy and Natural Resources, and add three gubernatorial appointments to the agency’s governing board?

Rosenthal responded: “The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority was created for the people of Louisiana to protect their way of life and to assure the best possible flood protection. CPRA is highly effective due to its stand-alone structure. Merging CPRA with the Louisiana Department of Energy and Natural Resources is a dangerous move, which will harm the safety of Louisiana residents.”

Monday, April 1st, 2024

In early February, Levees.org got word that the newly sworn in Louisiana governor had disturbing plans for the state’s nationally renowned Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA). Governor Jeff Landry proposed moving the CPRA underneath the state’s Department of Natural Resources.

The plan also included reducing the number of advisory board members, all of whom provide expertise at no charge. These plans did not appear to be in best interest of Louisiana residents.

So Levees.org crafted a petition and asked its Louisiana residents to write to Governor Landry’s office to abandon the plan. The campaign worked.
