LANDRIEU, MELANCON and DR. JOHN: COASTAL CARBON CONFLICT - LA COAST POST
Blog -
Monday, 04 May 2009 11:55
Here's a great post from our friend Len Bahr, showing that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Though LSU's firing of Ivor VanHeerden has gotten a fair amount of attention and outrage recently, it's not the first time academic freedom and legitimate research for a healthy environment and safe communities has been shut down at Louisiana's flagship campus due to political concerns.

In addition, Len covers the conundrum of Senator Landrieu and Congressman Melancon, who have seemingly chosen to be roadblocks to effective climate change measures instead of supporters of legislation necessary to secure the future of their coastal constituents. I guess the short-term needs of campaign contributors is currently winning out over the long-term needs of the planet.
