'That's a lot of money': $53 million for Lake Pontchartrain Basin in infrastructure bill
“Just imagine if that land bridge wasn’t there and all that [Ida surge] water surged into Lake Maurepas, how much flooding communities even as far north as Baton Rouge would have seen,” Trail said.
Interesting article about how the Lake Pontchartrain Basin will be getting fifty three million from the new infrastructure bill. It's good to see the government wasting some money natures way for a change, lol. But in all seriousness, the wetlands around New Orleans and Baton Rouge need to be protected or that whole area will turn to open water, and flooding will increase greatly. Building a city over a swamp was not a great idea to begin with, but not protecting the land around your city would be a worse idea.....

How do they even find these small non profits to give the money too...?
Somebody knows somebody..... I don't agree with it but that seems to be the way things work in government.
That doesn't sound like a lot to me considering the trillions they are spending, lol
Now that I think about it, you're right, it kind of a drop in the bucket. :(
