my second biggest concern is when the Corps habitually misses and reasonable deadlines.
There is no State that is more dependent on the good work of the Corps than Louisiana.
the current one is clearly broken.
There must be a way to marry those two.
I think that is really inappropriate.
This hearing is another clear, bold statement that this entire committee, in a very bipartisan way, is committed to a new WRDA bill.
I certainly share the Chair's concerns about all the issues she mentioned, and I will bring up some more.
Everyone wants to learn the lessons of Katrina. Everyone wants to strengthen engineering and design guidelines in an appropriate way.
I will be brief, covering two very important issues.
Oh, I can line up many cost-sharing sponsors in Louisiana for what we are talking about. That was not an issue.
I just think in the real world, negative consequences for missed deadlines are part of accountability.
