My efforts to reauthorize flood insurance program
June 30, 2010
I’ll continue my efforts to reauthorize the flood insurance program immediately, as a stand-alone bill. Louisiana can’t wait any longer for the liberal leadership in the Senate to keep playing political games. This article in the Times-Picayune explains how the leadership is trying to make flood insurance another Louisiana Purchase for a new spending bill that will add $33 Billion to the deficit.
Comments OffBP and the White House need to act their act together
I met with Bob Dudley, BP’s President and CEO of Gulf Coast Restoration to express the frustration of Louisianians during this ongoing oil spill crisis.

Comments OffMy legislation to extend national flood insurance
I offered legislation on US Senate floor today to extend the national flood insurance without adding to the deficit, but the liberal leadership blocked it again.

Comments OffRaiding Trust Fund
June 24, 2010
Liberals in Washington are trying to exploit the oil spill for political gain. Shutting down offshore drilling, raiding the oil spill trust fund to pay for new unrelated government spending, and promoting cap and tax. Louisianians deserve more than the use of the ongoing tragedy in the Gulf to force job-killing policies on them. You can read more in my op-ed below.
