For the rest of us, revisions to the environmental review process just implemented by the White House will further delay and require more studies for critical infrastructure projects to solve our traffic, flooding and coastal problems. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

For those of you that have been begging for more red tape, more traffic, more flooding, more lawyers, more litigation and less resilient communities and ecosystem, the White House just answered your prayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

The White House announced proposals to roll back improvements made during the Trump admin. to reform the nation’s project delivery system. This is what happens when you appoint people unencumbered by experience to key positions in our federal government. https://t.co/gMg2oDT8Nm — PolitiTweet.org

We will keep working toward real transportation and infrastructure solutions and making the right investments to address Louisiana’s priorities and advance our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

But new U.S. DOT criteria will be determined by a politicized process that would send most major infrastructure grants to places other than south LA. This is why we will continue to sound the alarm that LA won’t get a fair shake the way things stand. https://t.co/GlPmyBukWg — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We announced last year Louisiana Highway 1 received the $135 million grant from U.S. DOT to construct approximately 8.3 miles of elevated highway from Leeville Bridge to Golden Meadow – the largest transportation grant awarded in the nation. https://t.co/OSUuYhWj3d — PolitiTweet.org

Our previous amendment to the FAST Act requires that projects which support national energy security receive priority consideration for the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant program. https://t.co/0kphk3OXX5 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We are about to see this historic investment pay off & build on hundreds of millions of dollars in investments from bipartisan infrastructure bills with real solutions. It’ll ensure LA 1 remains accessible during weather events & protect the critical energy hub in Port Fourchon. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We secured a $135 million INFRA grant for the LA 1 project. A thread on the project’s importance, and how under the infrastructure legislation currently falling apart before congress, this grant wouldn’t come to Louisiana. https://t.co/1JAN2BrHXG — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We are continuing to gather stakeholders and fund projects across south Louisiana to build more resilient communities. https://t.co/moJQo40SRr — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Joined with Ascension Parish Pres. Clint Cointment, EBR Mayor-Pres. Sharon Weston Broome, Iberville Parish Pres Mitchell Ourso, Sen. Eddie Lambert, Rep. Tony Bacala, Councilman Corey Orgeron and Prairieville HOAs to discuss the ongoing clearing and snagging and future plans. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Along with the Amite River, Bayou Manchac presents some of the highest flood risks in the Capital Region. Both rivers are connected to numerous tributaries. When they don’t drain, the whole region suffers. We met with stakeholders to discuss ways to improve Manchac drainage. https://t.co/wgTZU6pWzz — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

I am committed to working with Republicans and Democrats to help develop an infrastructure bill that is fair to the citizens of Louisiana, is transparent and actually provides a return on investment. (5/6) https://t.co/U6cDC2IvOM — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Any infrastructure bill must actually address our traffic problems, help improve broadband access, improve flood protection & help restore our coast. We cannot support efforts to tax Louisiana citizens to build projects in New York and California. https://t.co/U6cDC2IvOM (4/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

The law also includes an estimated $2 billion in flood control, coastal restoration & hurricane protection funding to help make south Louisiana a safer place to live. This is a big win for LA, but we continue to have important infrastructure needs. (3/6) https://t.co/U6cDC2IvOM — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Yesterday, we just enacted legislation to provide assistance to victims of Hurricanes Laura, Delta, Zeta and Ida trying to rebuild their homes and businesses. (2/6) https://t.co/U6cDC2IvOM — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Joined members of Louisiana’s Congressional Delegation in setting the record straight on how infrastructure legislation currently before Congress would affect Louisiana. (1/6) https://t.co/U6cDC2IvOM — PolitiTweet.org

MSY is receiving $5,845,00 to upgrade the airport infrastructure. These funds will also help prevent delays and get folks to their destinations on time. https://t.co/kF6M2wliYP — PolitiTweet.org

BOEM announced that it will hold an oil and gas lease sale for the Gulf of Mexico on Nov. 17, in compliance with federal law. It is unfortunate that we are celebrating someone following the law, but that is what is happening today. Full statement below: https://t.co/5SQdVOcXAC — PolitiTweet.org

Last week we announced the reopening & bag limit extension for recreational anglers, whereas this announcement focuses on charter fishing businesses. We’re excited to see tourists & anglers getting more opportunities to enjoy fishing in south Louisiana. https://t.co/ByDogOANqn — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

NOAA announced the reopening of the 2021 Federal Gulf of Mexico Red Snapper Recreational For-Hire Season. This decision by NOAA is the way government is supposed to work. https://t.co/wXgRyrURQz — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

There needs to be meaningful reforms to the program that will keep rates down for policyholders in Louisiana, incentivize better flood protection, and give families credit on their policies for their community’s investment in mitigation. https://t.co/cvbCbwMWuI — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

While it is important not to let the program lapse, Congress needs to create a long-term plan for the NFIP. Congress has decided to kick the can down the road a few more months instead of taking decisive action to fix the NFIP. https://t.co/cvbCbwMWuI — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We have folks living in tents back home without electricity while politicians are arguing in Washington DC about how many tens of trillions in debt is an acceptable amount when mortgaging our children and grandchildren’s future. (3/3) https://t.co/ZWFUGwht3m — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Initially, hurricane recovery funding was held hostage by the debt limit which was removed for a separate vote. They tried to politicize the aid last week and despite the chaos, we were able to get some wins. (2/3) https://t.co/ZWFUGwht3m https://t.co/WlCMRDriXB — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

I voted yes for disaster aid. We are exactly one month from Hurricane Ida making landfall and our efforts to deliver hurricane recovery assistance for the citizens of south Louisiana is already paying off. (1/3) https://t.co/ZWFUGwht3m — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Blue Roof deadline to apply has been extended to Oct 15, 2021. This is welcomed news and we will keep putting pressure on the Corps to kick things into high gear as the Blue Roof Program is moving way too slow. https://t.co/qKV8gpYJal — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI - we announced a $20 million contract to excavate the channel between Cypress Bayou & Bayou Baton Rouge. This will advance the Comite Flood Control Project. https://t.co/Dak5gi7LNS https://t.co/PkHWhiGNCA — PolitiTweet.org
