I’m a recreational fisherman and I’m all for Sediment Diversions and Dredging. We now have the money and it’s time to do something NOW.

David Muthe’s comment supporting large river diversions is incorrect. If river diversions build land why are all of the Venice Passes not building deltas, they have been eroding for decades and are still eroding as we speak. Anyone working out of Venice knows this. The river is not able to build land anymore. Pipelining dredged material is our only chance to save some of Plaquemines Parish.

Will berms be built on the east bank from Pointe-ala-Hache to Baptiste Collette Pass. The hurricane surge always comes from Breton Sound and the surge from that direction will be increased because of the St. Bernard wall. The west bank river levee in Buras was almost over topped during hurricane Isaac.

Rebuilding after a storm is a long and frustrating road. What ads to this frustration is the possibility of contractor fraud. I am sharing this information as I feel deeply sorry for the citizens of Braithwaite and do not want these citizens to be taken advantage of by fraudulent contractors. I was a victim of contractor fraud in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. The fraudulent contractor who took advantage of me by stealing over $20,000 is Terri L Hale, white female, who usually carries an address of 1552 Cherry Street, Slidell, LA. She sometimes carries the business name of Davy Homes or utilizes the name of her spouse David Simon. Please note that fraudulent contractors prey upon your want to return to your home and community as quickly as possible. They usually request a large deposit, perform little work, and then make an excuse as to why more money is needed. Because of the desperation of a victim of a natural disaster, we usually offer the next sum of money. At that point, calls become less, contact stops and your home remains in shambles. If you are reading this, please pass this information on to other residents. Do your homework! Google or research the contractors background and by all means, try to utilize local contractors and not those who are from out of state as local contractors have more of an investment in the community. I am not sure how Plaquemines Parish is warning members of Braithwaite about contractor fraud; however, I have sent this comment so that others will not fall victim to neither this fraudulent contractor nor any others.

Smith plans on computer equipment
having a 5-year life cycle.

Nice. Is there funding for this? Or is this what the Republicans love to call an “unfunded mandate?”

Whatever that cost to build (oh, the cost overruns! How I would love to see all the documents (both public and private) associated with this project!) is probably way more than the public will ever know.
