Again, that DC bureau rock star, Bruce Alpert of the Times-Picayune, brings us another painful scoop for the region’s recovery.Yeah, remember that category 5 plan to rebuild Louisiana’s coastal wetlands and defend our communities? The plan Congress passed legislation demanding back in December of 2005? That gave the Corps of Engineers until December 2007 to deliver? That we still haven’t seen? That’s not even a plan so much as a ‘decision-matrix’? Yeah, that plan.Turns out, we won’t have a final version until the end of August of 2009. Nearly two years late. I can hear the thud now. Let’s remind Congress that the Corps is ridiculously late in delivering their insufficient assignment. Do that here.Aaron Viles is GRN’s Campaign Director
