[StBernard] Gulf Outlet unlikely to close

[Westley Annis]

In lieu of this article, this particluar section which read....."There's
going to have to be a business case made on a dollar-per-job basis," said
LRA Executive Director Andy Kopplin."

Unbelievable.  After more than a hundred people drowning in St. Bernard as a
result the MRGO why aren't any of these business idiots making a case on a
"dollar-per-life" or a "job-per-life" basis?  How many more people needed to
drown for them to see this?

A detailed, in-depth study I was involved in as recently as 2004 on the
economic feasibility of the MRGO showed only a few hundred regular jobs
among all the facilities that depend on the ship channel.  Another Katrina
and the death count will surpass the job count affiliated with the MRGO.
That's the kind of thinking that should be taking place here.
