A Flood Protection bill strongly championed by Levees.org was just signed into law.
Capping the victory, founder Sandy Rosenthal was honored – along with the bill’s sponsor – with an invitation from Governor John Bel Edwards to the Capitol Press Room for a special signing.
This honor is offered only to proponents of significant legislation.
House Bill 266, authored by Rep Patrick Connick-R (Marrero), requires term limits for the small group of people that decides who will spend $60 million annually on flood protection work.*
Today, our very own H.J. Bosworth Jr was interviewed by Fox News Channel 8 (WVUE). In this news story, John Snell discusses weak links in the region’s evacuation routes that Mr. Bosworth had pointed out years ago, and were exposed by Tropical Storm Cindy.
