[StBernard] Jr and MRGO

[Westley Annis]

That's all he had to do, explain himself ? Maybe so. But his plan still kept
the MRGO open. Keeping the MRGO open with a gate doesn't stop the ship wakes
from eroding the banks of the channel, and destroying wetlands that protect
us from storm surge. It doesn't stop the maintenance dredging which
continually widens the channel as the banks erode to replace material
dredged from the bottom of the channel. You can't keep the channel open and
still restore our wetlands and restore our hurricane protection. You can't
have both a shipping channel and coastal restoration.

John,
Thanks for the input.
 All Junior had to do was to give Pete Savoye, the most recognized person
striving to close the MRGO, the courtesy of sharing this information and the
strategy he was using with the idiots in DC prior to presenting this to be
voted on at a council meeting. Unfortunately the way it was presented gave
others a different perception of Junior's reasons thus others saw this ploy
differently, which is why the letter was generated from the St. Bernard
Sportsmen's League.
