The West Shore Lake Pontchartrain Hurricane Protection Project dates back to before I was born. Due to the funding, bureaucracy, and prioritization, this project mainly sat dormant. But – we've secured full funding and dirt is moving. https://t.co/9DORie1e4l — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
If enacted, the community’s health, safety and traffic congestion stand to gain. The funding was included in the recent House-passed infrastructure bill and we initially secured support for the project in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
We secured nearly half a million dollars in funding for a new asphalt overlay of a 1.4 mile stretch of Audubon Avenue in Thibodaux, Louisiana, from LA-1 to the Terrebonne Parish line, that leads to @thibodauxreg and @NichollsState. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
This is what real infrastructure solutions can look like. This project is improving a roadway that connects Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, sees approximately 7,000 vehicles a day, and provides access to to @thibodauxreg and @NichollsState. https://t.co/U32SbZFhtP — PolitiTweet.org

The project will allow the Sugarcane Research Unit to complete the consolidation of its operations from an out of an out-of-code, structurally and mechanically inadequate, 80-year-old building to a state-of-the-art facility. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
We’re leading the way to modernize Sugarcane Research Unit in Schriever. Our provision would modernize sugarcane research, create efficiencies, and yield even greater results for the crop and our state’s agriculture future. https://t.co/oShpmCNSo8 — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
$1 million is headed to BTR to establish a direct flight to DCA. Lord knows Washington needs our help at a moment’s notice. Over the past 2 years, we have secured record investment in the BR airport to help provide better air service out of the region. https://t.co/c489YnKJYR — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
And this announcement builds on top of the commitment we secured earlier this year for $12.46 million in New Start Construction funding from the Corps of Engineers, which was the pre-construction phase that helped get us to this next step. https://t.co/UCc9oI4nST — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
The Morganza-to-the-Gulf Hurricane Protection project will receive $12.46 million in New Start Construction funding… https://t.co/jtLAvCZESl
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
These efforts are resulting in major strides – proving that we can provide the hurricane protection that folks in Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes deserve. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Secured with @stevescalise funding dedicated to the Morganza-to-the-Gulf project through the Army Corps of Engineers. This is a big step in getting the East Floodgate done – a key component of the project. https://t.co/5XHcJRxqfo — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
But – we have to make sure that the 2016 Flood Duplication of Benefits bureaucratic nightmare will not apply to any future loans granted under the SBA program. https://t.co/vXN05Oyvqj — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
The average home price is increasing, but it is not helpful to offer loans to rebuild part of your home. By increasing SBA loan limits, this commonsense, bipartisan bill would give folks a real solution to rebuild and recover. https://t.co/vXN05Oyvqj — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
The grants are crucial for tourism, the travel experience, and getting our economy back on track. I am looking forward to seeing them put these funds to use and creating an even safer, efficient, and enjoyable travel experience. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International (MSY) and False River Regional will be receiving $3,621,961 and $1,223,000 respectively. These grants will help MSY & False River Regional as they keep working to serve passengers & attract visitors to Louisiana. https://t.co/8dKZFC4WSJ — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
We have the best military in the world, and this helps to ensure that our military service members are healthy, ready for deployment, and able to withstand the stress of extended warfare – a priority for each of our military branches. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
The provision would fund new health-science research efforts at Pennington focused on optimizing the health and readiness of U.S. military servicemen and women in Louisiana and beyond. This use of taxpayer funds is exactly the right type of investment for our community. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
A new mission for @PBRCNews was approved in the House Defense spending bill this week – a strong indication of widespread support for the effort as the bill moves through the legislative process. https://t.co/27WsvUEX1F — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Dumping more money into the same system that has resulted in decades of problems with fewer solutions isn’t progress. If you’re serious about addressing infrastructure, we need to fix the broken system that has become a study factory rather than a construction program. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Previous amendment introduced: Would require the non-federal sponsor of a project to collect the data from previous, frivolous, time-wasting studies. Then, consolidate the findings to deliver in one year a conclusion on where, for example, a bridge alignment should go. https://t.co/jNdaXP67Nb — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
This bill is not infrastructure. It's not solving road and traffic problems plaguing this country. Why are we building projects that have been around for decades? Because the process is flawed. We need real traffic solutions and real investments in infrastructure. https://t.co/OsCk7uSo06 — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Every chance we have to take funding and clear storm drains, dredge or remove debris from our waterways moves us closer to true flood protection in our communities. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
This is a smart decision & complements parts of the $3 billion of record funding we previously secured to benefit the Capital Region: -$255 mil for EBR Flood Control Project -$400 mil secured for the Comite Diversion -$50 mil secured for Livingston Parish drainage projects — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
The East Baton Rouge Metro Council recently approved a $20 million budget for drainage projects from federal funding. These projects, accompanying other projects in the Capital Region, will together reduce flood risk for communities throughout the area. https://t.co/b7GjLFE8un — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
There is apparent disregard for legal requirements in exchange for unquantifiable political objectives. The key program objectives established distort, undermine, and even contradict the objectives required by law. https://t.co/acLRl2yPPk — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
We raised this issue to Secretary Buttigieg in March, and this is why we have concerns about how this Administration is running things. https://t.co/CFNYseeygf — PolitiTweet.org

The INFRA grant program - made possible with an amendment to the FAST Act - requires that projects that provide a r… https://t.co/KnUo6lmJEP
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
US DOT moved forward in giving nearly $1 billion in INFRA grants without proper criteria, objectives, and goals. Not one project in Louisiana made the list despite our energy, resiliency and infrastructure priorities, or our traffic and flooding problems. https://t.co/acLRl2QqGS — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
The route this bill is going means no meaningful progress toward clearing a new Mississippi River crossing, no significant improvement to drainage in the Capitol, River or Bayou Regions, and no enhancements on hurricane and flood protection. https://t.co/YONIWMCiZX — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
If you’re serious about addressing infrastructure, we need to fix the broken system that has become a study factory rather than a construction program. Let’s get away from all the distractions and refocus the conversation around real priorities. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
We need solutions to our traffic and flooding problems. But dumping more money into the same system that has resulted in decades of problems with fewer solutions isn’t progress. — PolitiTweet.org
