In December, U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, introduced legislation that would authorize the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to study building a 12-foot levee along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to provide hurricane protection along the coast. The study would cost $500,000. "We don't need a study. We need a levee," said Hubert Faulk, president of the Vermilion Parish Police Jury. "I can tell them how to dig dirt and build a levee."
I like the way he thinks.
