Bayou Industrial Group joined 20 other parish, regional and state organizations in issuing a letter of support today for SB 359, authored by Sen. Bob Hensgens (R-Abbeville). The bill keeps the state’s focus on enforcing state permits and ensures that 100% of any funds recovered under the enforcement guidelines of Louisiana’s State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act (SLCRMA) are spent directly on coastal restoration and hurricane protection as the Louisiana Legislature originally intended.
