Dear Jeff ,

How about addressing the failing infrastructure in Southwest Louisiana before putting even more stress and deadly consequences on the people who call this place home?

Do you even care about all of the out of state workers putting such a strain on Cameron Parish that people are dying on a regular basis in deadly crashes on the two lane highway?

Have you ever considered that a parish with no hospital , built for a couple hundred people is now so overburdened by thousands and thousands of people that traffic stays backed up where even the closest emergency responders can’t adequately get through ??

If this is opportunity for Louisiana why are you bullying our parishes into giving even more tax breaks to multibillion dollar corporations?

Why are you allowing our natural resources to be exploited and extracted for select few to become rich while we absorb all of the consequences and our beautiful state is ruined ?

Why are Louisiana people being abused and used for billionaires ?

Why are we footing the bill for outsiders to become even more rich?

Why are the corporations not being held accountable for the destruction they are causing on a daily basis ?

Why are the Louisiana people struggling more than ever to just merely survive?

Why aren’t you responding to our dozens of request about our concerns and reality you have helped create for SWLA?

The agency will hold a public hearing on the proposed permit at 6 p.m. Nov. 5 at Westlake City Hall, 1001 Bob Hardey Drive (formerly 1001 Mulberry Street), Westlake, LA 70669.

Public meeting planned Oct. 29 on draft air permit for oil terminal off Southwest LA coast

The Environmental Protection Agency is accepting comments until Oct. 29 on draft air construction and operating permits for the Blue Marlin Offshore Port. This deepwater port would be located about 100 miles off the coast of Cameron Parish, Louisiana, and would be able to export up to 1.9 million barrels of oil every day. Oil for export would be transported out of the Nederland Terminal in Jefferson County, Texas, along the existing Stingray Pipeline, which would be converted to handle crude oil. The EPA will hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Cameron Parish Police Jury West Annex, 148 Smith Circle, in Cameron, Louisiana.
