And because this region was impetus for the funds announced today, we expect substantial additional funds for the Capital Region. This was truly a team effort and a hopeful sign of things to come. https://t.co/WGiISkk36j — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Of this amount, $1.4 billion was intended to provide 1980s protection – like the Comite project – while the $1.2 billion was designed for projects like LA 22 that are regional and collaborative in nature and address future protection and the risks revealed by the 2016 Flood. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
When we secured $3 billion in 2018 for flood projects, the LA 22 project is precisely what we had in mind: a strategic investment in systemic, watershed-based flood protection as opposed to sprinkling money around on isolated projects. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
The LA 22 project is the first major flood project since the historic 2016 Flood – and the first regional project in the Capital Region since the Comite River Diversion Canal was proposed more than 30 years ago. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
Capital Region parishes receiving funding: -Ascension & Livingston: $42 mil. for La. Hwy 22 bridge construction & drainage improvements -Livingston: $15 mil. for parish drainage improvements -East Baton Rouge: $5 mil. for the University Lakes flood risk reduction project — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
A historic announcement for historic projects to address a historic natural disaster. We secured $163 million for 15 flood mitigation projects across the state, a result from the Capital Region 2016 Flood. https://t.co/WGiISkk36j — PolitiTweet.org

Joined @RepJerryCarl and fellow Gulf State members in introducing legislation that makes the federal government pay Louisiana compensation for lost revenues due to POTUS' executive orders that knee-cap offshore energy production in the name of better energy and climate policy. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
The new admin cares about the environment so much that it kiboshed a primary source of funding for critical environmental restoration in LA & along the Gulf Coast. We’re giving math a shot with this bill because logic clearly doesn’t resonate with them. https://t.co/duUkF2gqCE — PolitiTweet.org

We are happy to work with the city and help cut through the bureaucracy. We have repeatedly been blocked on amendments to force efficiency at HUD. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
No one should be surprised here. This is the same agency that provides the rules for the RESTORE program from the 2016 flood. In that case, we provided $1.7B to the state over 4 years ago & less than $700M of that has been offered to flood victims. (1/2) https://t.co/OfEInPPWuZ — PolitiTweet.org

The amendment's exclusion is one of the reasons we voted no. Below: Transportation and Infrastructure Markup on February 10, 2021 where we introduced the amendment (#22) but it was not accepted. https://t.co/tIVVk4ptzx — PolitiTweet.org

We worked with Rep. Higgins to introduce an amendment that would set aside $10 billion of the Disaster Relief Fund for communities hit by a major disaster in 2020. The Majority denied it. The Louisiana Delegation isn’t throwing in the towel. https://t.co/YmckM2BoZS — PolitiTweet.org

We need to do a better job of mimicking what mother nature used to do. Doing a better job of managing the MS River will allow us to improve: -Shipping navigation and ports -Business for crawfish farmers -Flood protection -Restoration of our coast and coastal ecosystem (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Talked this morning with @JohnSnellFox8 about how Louisiana takes on the water sent to us by the 31 other states and two Canadian provinces that make up the holistic watershed of the Mississippi River. (1/2) https://t.co/rLd5F33Rso — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
There is no question we are decades behind where we need to be with our infrastructure. But we need to make sure we have a transportation bill with clean energy solutions, not a climate change bill with transportation afterthoughts.

The designation helps to highlight & improve the stewardship of the natural resources, culture, & history of this important region. We need to treasure it, protect it & educate people about all the basin area has to offer from conservation to economic productivity & tourism. — PolitiTweet.org

The first time the bill was in the House, we introduced more amendments to House Democrats’ budget reconciliation package in an effort to create accountability and improve the $1.9 trillion mega-bill – which, contrary to its title, will do little to provide COVID-19 relief. — PolitiTweet.org

This bill ignores the plight of Louisiana’s seafood sector, skips the opportunity to end the disparity in Social Security that disproportionately hurts our teachers, firefighters and other public servants, and leaves our energy workers in a lurch. https://t.co/YVTr0itgeA — PolitiTweet.org

The completion date on the Comite Project just slipped another year - making the timeline 50% longer. The new, delayed deadline will also be missed if the Corps and State do not change how they buy the property needed for construction. Put some urgency behind it. — PolitiTweet.org

If we keep moving in this direction that prioritizes adaptation through innovation, then we can expedite the progress we need to make in restoring our wetlands and coastal areas. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves
This is about coastal Louisiana’s survival – we are on a trajectory to irreversible elimination ofour fisheries, wildlife, habitats, industries, culture and coastal communities without a paradigm shift in our decisions, investments, and management of the Mississippi River System. — PolitiTweet.org
