Thank you for signing our petition to LA Governor Jeff Landry requesting that he maintain the stand-alone structure of the state’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA).
It worked!
The governor’s plan to alter the CPRA appears “on hold” according to an in-depth article by veteran journalist Mark Schleifstein in the New Orleans Advocate this past Friday

The petition and the letter campaign showed that we cannot underestimate the power of the citizen-at-large to rise up, be seen and get heard.
As we near another hurricane season, we can rest a little easier knowing that the CPRA can continue its nationally recognized projects since its creation after the levees broke in August 2005.
Again, thank you for your action!
Sincerely, Sandy Rosenthal, founder and president of Levees.org
