[StBernard] MRGO

[Westley Annis]

Westley,
 
In addition to suing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Bernard Parish
and the other plaintifs should also sue The Port of New Orleans!!!!!!!!! 
 
The MRGO or any other federal project can not exist unless there is a local
sponsor. In the case of the MRGO the Port of New Orleans is the local
sponsor. They are just as liable for the death and distruction the MRGO has
caused as is the Corps of Engineers.
 
The irony in all of this is that the Port of New Orleans is an agency of the
State of Louisiana. The Port through the Corps of Engineers has been using
our tax dollars to dredge the very channel that is destroying our wetlands.
At the same time the State is asking for taxpayer money from the federal
government to restore our wetlands. 
 
The people need to wake up to what has been going on here.
 
The Port of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana are just as liable as the
Corps of Engineers.
