NWRA: Jindal ignored berm restrictions


The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers halted dredging operations in Louisiana near the Breton National Wildlife Refuge.

Louisiana's Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal lobbied for permission to build containment berms to prevent oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster from reaching delicate marshlands in the U.S. south.

The Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Interior Department fast-tracked the permit process to dredge for the berms 3 miles off the coast. Jindal, the National Wildlife Refuge Association said in a statement, allowed operations to move too close to protected areas, forcing the federal government to halt the operations.

Evan Hirsche, president of the NWRA, accused Jindal of blatant disregard for the terms of the federal dredging permits by conductive "massive" dredging operation near sensitive lands.

Senate Wants Jindal Oil Spill Records Open
Governor's Office Fights Releasing Some Documents

POSTED: 5:09 pm CDT June 16, 2010

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Louisiana's Senate has voted to make sure governor's office records pertaining to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill are available to the public and that they are archived for at least 10 years.

The Senate approved the language as an amendment to another bill Wednesday.

Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration has gone along with some attempts to open up governor's office records but has vehemently fought bills letting the public see any documents pertaining to the governor's "deliberative process" and requiring the preservation of those documents.

The oil spill records amendment by Sen. Robert Adley, a Benton Republican, passed in the Senate without objection and now faces a House vote. The governor's office has not yet commented on it.

2. Doing before thinking.....typical GOP b.s.

Jindal is a man of action :sarcasm: Even if his actions cause more harm than good, at least he's doing something. I guess that looks just great to the uninformed.
