Zero funding for Hurricane Ida or SW Louisiana recovery efforts in today’s government funding bill. Yet, there are still folks living in tents and hotels. Electricity is just coming back in some of the communities. Roofs remain damaged in some places. https://t.co/j1xcvLPdS6 — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
The use of drones will keep advancing, innovating & supporting American jobs & improve our global competitiveness. But as we use advanced technologies to better support our nation’s infrastructure, it’s imperative that we do so in a way that protects national security. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Introduced bipartisan legislation with @RepMoulton that would prohibit federal grants from being used to purchase drones that are manufactured and engineered by companies associated with the Chinese government. (1/2) https://t.co/IEjIDmrkoV — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
This funding will provide $85.8 mil for new restoration projects & an additional $13 mil to develop new coastal solutions. The bill also funded the Coastwide Nutria Control Program, which pays licensed trappers a bounty of $6 per nutria tail during the trapping season. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
This legislation knocks out two rats with one trap. We’re directing millions toward coastal restoration efforts while funding the nutria police – both contributing to the same goal of protecting our state’s coast and people. (1/2) https://t.co/FHi6KU9Gkt — PolitiTweet.org

We are pardoning Parish the Nutria from the nutria bounty program for choosing spring. — PolitiTweet.org

Parish, the nutria at Audubon Zoo, disagrees with her prognosticating pal, Punxsutawney Phil. See their predictions. https://t.co/PqFS7jPuOy
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Rather than just making our homes worthless by charging unaffordable flood insurance rates, the solution is to build better protection and make our families safer. The Upper Barataria hurricane protection project does just that. https://t.co/Zfq4LY5cB3 — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
We're pushing U.S. Secretary of Commerce (DOC) Gina Raimondo to expedite “Fishery Disaster Determination” due to major damage related to impacts of Hurricanes Laura, Delta, Zeta and especially Ida. Under law, only the DOC secretary can make this determination. (2/2) https://t.co/qzxvRGAr0n — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Immediately after Hurricane Ida, we worked to secure $200 million in federal funding for fisheries disaster assistance. But this down payment can’t be made available for rebuilding our resources until a fisheries disaster has been determined. https://t.co/EHd1x6UkXw (1/2) https://t.co/LcaoZn2K4q — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
This announcement comes after $8 million was secured recently for engineering and design of the Upper Barataria project. This will help to expedite implementation. (2/2) https://t.co/leC790NhX6 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
We are committed to authorizing the Upper Barataria Basin Project for construction in federal law this year There is levee protection in nearby areas, but this project and funding address the Achilles’ heel in our vulnerability. (1/2) https://t.co/a1qfyFDIja — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
We secured all the federal funding – including an additional $128 million secured recently to expedite Comite – and we will continue to hold the Corps and State’s feet to the fire on finishing the project without any more delays. https://t.co/WfXIz06bmS — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
The Corps has awarded a $17 million contract to construct the structure that will drain Cypress Bayou floodwaters into the new Comite Diversion Canal and then into the Mississippi River. This is a big step forward, but we’re not done yet. https://t.co/pQBjTHeocH — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Within one month of Hurricane Ida making landfall, we were able to pass a law with billions of dollars in recovery funding and flood protection investments for Louisiana. https://t.co/zVv4vxlVzx — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
We secured $255 million to complete the Five Bayous and $343 million for the Comite Diversion – and we just added another $128 million to expedite completion of Comite. There is simply no more time to delay, https://t.co/BkrZ47fSAW — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Like Comite, there is persistent risk of missing construction deadlines on the Five Bayous Project. These projects together would have saved lives and billions in damages had they been in completed by the 2016 Flood and the 2021 Rain Bomb. (3/3) https://t.co/5j6gCLM18D — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
I’m glad to see project announcements, but this process lacks the regional scale, urgency and transparency taxpayer… https://t.co/MyDV9zYEx5
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Funding for both projects has been in place since 2018. We secured $255 million to complete the Five Bayous and $343 million for the Comite Diversion – and we just added another $128 million to expedite completion of Comite. There is simply no more time to delay. (2/3) — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Like its companion – the Comite Diversion Flood Control Project – the East Baton Rouge Flood Control Project (also called the "Five Bayous" Project) has been around for decades and should have been completed already. (1/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Without the trapping, the nutria will continue to destroy native plants and burrow holes in our levees – remaining a large threat to our hurricane protection and coastal restoration efforts. (2/2) https://t.co/ykTrqgdRzq — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Legislation that would ban the use of traps in the National Wildlife Refuge System is being considered in the U.S. House, and we are working to prevent the legislation from harming our nutria eradication efforts. (1/2) https://t.co/fWcJ3BcjuL — PolitiTweet.org

People have been talking about improving freshwater flows for decades, we are excited this next component is moving forward. (4/4) https://t.co/B9LdRwMNhf — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
We’ve seen land loss and saltwater intrusion ever since. This project helps to improve the connection of the Mississippi River and the Lafourche basin — helping restore the health of the bayou and adjacent communities. (3/4) https://t.co/B9LdRwMNhf — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
None of us were around in 1903 when they cut off the connection of the MS River to Bayou Lafourche, but we’re all paying for it now. The bayou was the largest distributary of the river and the primary source of freshwater and sediment for the region. (2/4) https://t.co/B9LdRwMNhf — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
The Bayou Lafourche Mississippi River Re-Introduction and Pumping Capacity Improvement Project in Donaldsonville went out to bid for construction. This is another infrastructure win for south Louisiana. (1/4) https://t.co/XFdI6OfQjH — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Great news today - billions of dollars in key hurricane protection, flood control, levee improvements and dredging are on the way. Over 3/4 of this funding is coming from the hurricane recovery funding bill we passed in Sept. 2021 - within a month after Hurricane Ida landfall. https://t.co/G31lTOgSzy — PolitiTweet.org
