...who argued that the barriers would choke commerce and harm marine life in ecologically sensitive Lake Pontchartrain.

Wow, the truth is even beginning to leak out in the L.A. Times. Hey Dims, the end is near!

Wonder if this is why the environmental wackouts are staying so silent, and NOT demanding an environmental impact study, before the STATE pumps that 'toxic' water into the lake.
Sometimes dirty, toxic water is not really the issue.

What kind of loser is an "environmentalist?" It must be the lowest form of employment, even lower than dish washer.

If this is true -- and it appears to be -- the environmental group that sued to prevent the barrier construction should pay for all the damages caused by its absence.

Two years ago the fires that destroyed hundreds of homes in San Diego were fueled by dead underbrush that could not be cleared because the envirofascists had brought lawsuit after lawsuit to prohibit it's removal.

maybe some kind lawyer will file a class action against the Serria KLUB and ask for a billion dollars for the people injured by Katrina. That would make some folks in California reach for their wallets big time.

"The project was stopped in its tracks when an environmental lawsuit won a federal injunction on the grounds that the Army's environmental impact statement was flawed. By the mid-1980s, the Corps of Engineers abandoned the project."I wrest my case!!! EnvironMentalism... The new home for Communism right here in America!!!
They're turning America into the land of "Hell and High Water!" (They're (the pumpers) having to fight to keep the bodies from getting into intakes of the pumps, today!)

Of course they were not able to use asbestos because of environmental concerns...

Hopefully some very good and very hungry trial lawyers will sue these elite watermelons, the governor, da mayor, and the rats in congress for killing and harming innocents.
The poor refugees of N O's could end up owning the governor, da mayor and about half of congress after civil trials.

Maybe,you could explain to the freepers not familiar with
Clinton EO-12986, what it did to protect the limo watermelon elites who set up these potential disasters.

Thank you so much for the ping; I'd have missed this otherwise.
I've saved the article and sent it to my e-mail group.
I'm rather surprised the LA Times published this, but it confirms what we have heard about the envirowackos being partly to blame.
