As Governor Jindal attempts to get permits to expand his controversial sand berm projects, scientists, environmentalists and federal agencies who oppose the berms are weighing in with the Army Corps of Engineers. Barry Kohl, president of the Louisiana Audubon Council, wrote, "According to a panicked Gov. Jindal, any project that appeared to provide protection should be immediately permitted — no matter the environmental consequences.” Other agencies have said the sand berms threaten wildlife habitat, use scarce sand resources needed for coastal restoration and are generally ineffective. The EPA, which could have veto power over the berms, is expected to weigh in Tuesday.

Lawmakers had a message for the Jindal administration Wednesday on incentive dollars set aside for economic development projects: Spend them or lose them.
“We’re going to have teachers, health-care workers, health-care recipients who are going to get cut ... It’s going to be very difficult to allow (money) to sit there,” said state Rep. Gary Smith, D-Norco.
