Edwards defends tax break changes, says program is generous

By MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. John Bel EdW wards defended his changes to Louisiana’s major industrial tax break program, telling hundreds of business leaders Thursday that the state remains generous and competitive to industry.

The Democratic governor’s comments came at an all-day business summit Edwards called in Baton Rouge, in which he encouraged business leaders to “stay engaged” and offer ideas to his administration.

But Edwards also refused to roll back limits enacted on the decades-old Industrial Tax Exemption Program, which provides property tax breaks up to 10 years for manufacturers.

He said his changes created “a better balance.”

“Everything about our direction in the Industrial Tax Exemption Program is intended to prosper Louisiana,” the governor said. “We’re See Edwards Page 5-A

State awards $5.4M in local road projects

Pictured is just one of several recent repairs made to the public boat launch in Port Fourchon. Among the upgrades made were an improved bulkhead, wharfs, and the boardwalk near the launch, as seen here.

GLPC project to benefit boating and fishing enthusiasts

CUT OFF, LA – The Greater Lafourche Port Commission is currently wrapping up work on a selfgenerated project to enhance the Port’s public boat launch.

With an investment totaling nearly $100,000, the public boat launch will now have an improved bulkhead, wharfs, and boardwalk near the launch.

This project was undertaken by GLPC to ensure community members continued to have a safe and nice place to participate in recreational activities.

“Those that use our Port recre-

ationally to launch their boats and fish the world-class areas surrounding our Port deserve to have us invest in them, thus the reason our Board of Commissioners along with myself decided it was time to perform some repairs and upgrades to our public boat launch,” GLPC Port Director Chett Chiasson said.

When combined with the development of the Port’s Slip D mitigation area, which is a 100-acre site with over 40-acres dedicated to future recreational use, its clear to see how the Port continues to embrace a See Port Page 3-A

Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon is announcing the twelfth successful round of depopulation for the Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (Citizens).

As the state’s insurer of last resort, Citizens offers property insurance to any home or business owner that cannot otherwise obtain it, at rates adjusted annually to keep it noncompetitive with the private market.

“I’m pleased to announce the first depopulation under the new rules for the Take-Out Program,” said Commissioner Donelon. “We’ve worked

closely with Citizens and the Legislature to ensure the stability of the Corporation for future storm seasons.”

During the annual depopulation process Citizens is required to open up its book of business and offer to transfer policies to the private market. This depopulation results in lower premiums for policyholders and reduces the potential for future assessments, which are charged to all property insurance consumers across the state when Citizens’ exposure exceeds their reinsurance coverage and cash availability.

Three state road projects in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes are expected to begin later this year after construction bids were received last week.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announced low bidders for 24 projects, totaling $58 million.

Local projects total more than $5.4 million, including: a 9.5-mile asphalt overlay project on La. 1 near the Valentine Bridge, adding a turn lane from La. 182 onto La. 24 in Houma and installing a mini roundabout at Audubon Avenue and Ardoyne Drive in Thibodaux.

“These projects demonstrate what the state can do and what this administration is willing to accomplish when resources are provided. Despite our funding problems, we will continue to do what we can so motorists will continue to benefit from roadway and safety improvements,” state Transportation Secretary Shawn D. Wilson said.

The largest project, repaving La. 1, will mill, patch and overlay the highway from the Valentine Bridge to Elson Lane, and replace and clean the cross drain under La. 1.

The contract was awarded to Boh Bros. Construction Co. for about $4.8 million See Projects Page 3-A

BRIDGE CLOSURE REMINDER:

The West Larose Vertical Lift Bridge on La. 1 crossing the Intracoastal Canal Waterway in Larose will be closed to vehicular traffic for several weeks beginning at 7:00 a.m. Monday, Feb. 25 until 7:00 a.m. Monday, April 15, (weather permitting).

According to a release from DOTD, the closure is necessary so crews can remove and replace rear tower bearings, trunnion bearings and wire ropes. The $25 million project is designed to extend the life of the existing structure and is estimated for completion this summer.

Motorists should expect heavier traffic during peak traffic hours.

Letters and Opinions

Awareness this Mardi Gras season and beyond may be life saving

My name is Danny Boy Bourg. I was once one of the wildest drivers in our parish.

In 2008, April Fools Day, I hurt someone reaching for my phone.

That day has haunted me since, but I still didn’t quite get the message. It took losing everything to find myself walking the shoulder to put more in perspective the lesson God was teaching me.

Humility was a hard lesson, but I started to see the dangers on our highways and my own carelessness in driving by watching others. I realized I once was relaxed behind the wheel, when if my focus was the road, I would have never taken my attention off of it.

It isn’t our fault if we don’t know, right?

I understand the concept of an accident, because it isn’t a planned event so to speak, but if we can be more focused behind the wheel, we can prevent more pain in our lives that we may cause to others.

I for one am aware. I had to watch someone bleed from a quick reaction to grab a ringing phone.

I often think of the whole family I hurt, and I still cry, because I never got to apologize.

Please people, pay more attention behind the wheel, drunk driving, eating and driving, cell phone activity, putting on make-up and driving, doing drugs while driving, these are all activities that take our focus off the road.

One second can mean the cost of a life.

Please let’s not let our carelessness bring heartbreak. Since 9-11 we, as a nation, have killed over 700,000 people in automobile crashes. This number is staggering, it takes us as a nation to bring it down. We can.

One of the things I have found that doesn’t help is the debris I find on the highway shoulders and roads, mainly at the head of streets, intersections, store fronts, and by mailboxes, normally the area of the trash cans. I would give an honest estimate and say that I have well picked up over 1,000 pounds of metal objects.

My local State Police Department informed me upon investigation that a nail and a screw has been the determining facture that has cause death. With all I have seen my question is which one? That is why I pick them up.

I have had my local Sheriff’s Office deputies look over the pile I accumulated and they proceeded to point out numerous items that have been the cause of

an accident in some kind of way.

Being this is Mardi Gras season, and in our areas of the south, we tend to frequent the shoulders with parking.

Keep an open eye in front and behind your vehicle, at least it can save you the cost of a tire, maybe more.

In the three years that I have been consistent with cleaning my roads I have heard some stories and have been asked to feel metal plates in shins, and skulls. I’d rather prevent these things from happening then have friends that can’t pass through a metal detector without being noticed.

Please listen with your heart. I have a strong passion for all the highways for us to be more careful drivers. I love my bayou, I love my country, and I would love for our world to stop hurting each other, and we can start here at home.

I used to work at a shipyard in Larose and the owner made buttons to be passed out to try and spark motivation to the workers … a very simple message that I still carry inside of me …

I CARE. Danny Bourg Golden Meadow, LA

Medicaid From 1-A

The letters were expected to come up Friday in a legislative budget committee hearing. Several lawmakers said they had heard about the letters, but had been unable to get information from the Department of Health or copies of the correspondence by Thursday.

Edwards, a Democrat running for a second term, regularly touts the expansion program and the 500,000 people who newly received health insurance coverage because of it. In a speech Thursday, he credited expansion with cutting Louisiana’s uninsured rate in half and giving thousands of people access to preventive serv-

ices that have identified chronic illnesses.

Republicans say the expansion is too costly and has grown the Medicaid program at an unsustainable rate. They say the Edwards administration spent too much time trying to add people to the Medicaid rolls and too little time confirming people qualify.

The health department’s upgraded computer system launched in November, as Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera released a report that said Medicaid expansion may have spent as much as $85 million on ineligible enrollees.

Auditors suggested more double-checking of Medicaid recipients’ income. The Edwards Administration responded by announcing the improved computer system

Joe’s Septic Contractor’s 7th Annual

would do quarterly checks of eligibility, rather than the annual checks previously done, and would use more data for comparison to track a person’s wages.

Under Medicaid expansion, adults ages 19 to 64 with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level — about $16,750 for a single adult or $28,680 for a family of three — are eligible for the coverage through one of Louisiana’s Medicaid plans administered by private managed-care companies.

The federal government is paying most of the Medicaid expansion cost. Louisiana is paying a share that eventually increases to 10 percent.

Lawmakers passed financing tools to help cover the state’s costs, including a tax hike charged on health maintenance organizations. ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

role as not only a destination for industry, but for sportsmen and women as well as nature enthusiasts looking for adventure.

In fact, the mitigation area plans to give visitors a chance to fish, kayak, and birdwatch.

As future ideas begin to meet up with different funding sources, including the Port’s, the result will be a site that promotes educational opportunities for schools and scientists to observe and interact with newly restored marsh.

“Having a front-row seat to watch how a development and mitigation area works to benefit both the energy industry we service as well as the environment

we all love and care about is a treat for me personally,” Chiasson said. “This site, which is coming along nicely, will ultimately be a place for workers in our port and visitors to our port to enjoy.”

According to Deputy Port Director Davie Breaux, further improvements are being planned for the actual pavilion at the public boat launch as well with everything expected to be completed by early Spring.

Projects From 1-A

Construction could begin as early as May, with an estimated completion date of spring 2020, Brandie Richardson, DOTD public information officer, said in an email this week.

Eighty percent of the project is financed by federal dollars, with a 20 percent state match from the preservation program, she said.

Also in Lafourche Parish, the parish’s first roundabout will be installed at Audubon Avenue and Ardoyne Drive on the Nicholls State University campus this summer.

LA Contracting Enterprise was the low bidder at $270,000.

Construction is scheduled to begin over the summer to minimize campus traffic disruption, Richardson said.

The project is fully funded through a federal local roads safety program, she said.

In Terrebonne Parish, the apparent low bidder for the turn lane project on La. 182, New Orleans Boulevard, was Barriere Construction Co. for $293,000.

The right turn lane will be added for drivers

turning south onto La. 24, West Park Avenue.

Construction could begin as early as May, with an estimated completion date this summer, Richardson said.

It is being paid for with an 80 percent share of federal money and 20 percent state money from the operational efficiency and traffic systems program, she said.

DOTD contractors will also begin replacing the Coteau Road bridge over Bayou Terrebonne Monday.

The bridge, between West Main Street and West Park Avenue, will be closed to traffic from Monday to Oct. 31.

Drivers can use the Jody or Darlene Bridges as alternate routes.

Contractors will be removing the existing bridge and replacing it with culverts and new roadway. The construction contract was

awarded to LA Contracting Enterprise LLC for $1.3 million.

Deputies seek public’s help in identifying theft suspects

The Lafourche Parish Sheriff‘s Office is asking for the public’s help to identify suspects involved in thefts and attempted thefts which occurred on St. Anthony Street in Mathews early Sunday morning.

On Sunday, Feb. 17, deputies began investigating the theft of a boiling pot and a boiling pot set up from residences on St. Anthony Street.

Several other residents reported having items on their property moved to the roadside in an apparent attempt to steal from several properties.

Upon reviewing surveillance, deputies observed an unknown white male subject walking on one of the properties, having moved items to the roadside. As the man was talking on a cell phone, a light-colored, four-door Chevrolet pickup truck pulled up to the residence. The man and the truck driver then fled the area

Public notice Grand Isle Gas System Public Awareness Notice

Please read the following gas system safety information.

It is provided to promote public awareness and damage prevention awareness.

The Town of Grand Isle owns and operates a natural gas distribution system. The gas system consists of an underground network of pipelines throughout the Town. The purpose of the gas system is to provide a reliable and safe economical source of energy for heating purposes to the homes and businesses adjacent to the underground gas pipelines. The pipeline system has the capacity to reliably deliver natural gas to the customers.

The hazards of natural gas are that it is: odorless, colorless, tasteless, lighter than air and can ignite and/or explode with tremendous force when mixed with the right amount of air.

Prevention measures taken include: Adding odorant to the gas to give it that distinctive smell, similar to rotten eggs, to warn us of its presence; Testing the odorant level each calendar quarter; Performing annual gas leakage surveys; Conducting periodic pipeline patrols.

The following are signs that may indicate a gas leak: A hissing or roaring sound (caused by escaping gas); A patch of dead or discolored vegetation in an otherwise green setting along a pipeline route; Blowing dirt, grass or leaves AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Your love life and social life are intertwined this week, Aries. It is very likely that you will spend ample time with friends as well as that special person in your life.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, many people set goals early in a new year, and you can try to follow suit. This may provide some guidance for you as the year progresses.

Edwards From 1-A

going to go to bat for our manufacturers. We’ll do that every day of the week because we need for them to succeed.”

Since taking office in 2016, Edwards limited the program to an 80 percent tax break over two five-year terms and required businesses to create or retain jobs with the projects seeking exemptions. In addition, local parish councils, police juries, sheriffs and school boards that stand to lose the property tax money can jettison the tax break applications.

The changes have provoked criticism from business groups, who described the regulations as confusing, complicated and damaging to economic development in a state with an already difficult-to-navigate business tax structure.

Of particular complaint is the process for getting local governing authorities to sign off on the exemptions, which can involves multiple votes.

Edwards said he’d consider tweaks to streamline the process, but wouldn’t get rid of the local review as suggested by some Republican lawmakers and one of his GOP gubernatorial opponents, Baton Rouge businessman Eddie Rispone. The Edwards administration notes that 39 other states have similar property tax exemption programs requiring local resolutions of support.

“You should know that even with the changes we’ve made, our ITEP program remains one of the most generous in the country,” the governor said. “And it is certainly competitive.”

Edwards, seeking a second term on the October ballot, also talked more broadly about his tenure in office, ticking off what he considers his achievements in economic development and in health care. He reiterated his push for a teacher pay raise in the upcoming legislative session. And he touted his work to stabilize the state’s finances — after being introduced by LSU football coach Ed Orgeron, who showed video of Edwards throwing passes to LSU players.

Republicans slammed the summit as a taxpayer-financed campaign event. Edwards’ gubernatorial challenger Ralph Abraham, a thirdterm congressman, called the summit “a total farce,” saying in a statement that Edwards has shown “hostility toward

5-A

job creators.”

The governor’s relationship with industry has been rocky. He’s clashed with business organizations over taxes and his unsuccessful proposal to raise Louisiana’s minimum wage, among other areas.

Edwards’ office said the summit was aimed at linking business leaders with government officials, after the governor held closed-door meetings with industry officials around Louisiana.

Panel discussions were held throughout the day. ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

Insurance From 1-A

During the 2018 regular legislative session, a measure was passed that made changes to the Citizens Take-Out Program.

Act 131 changes the Take-Out Program from a requirement to open their book of business each year into a possibility to offer policies to the voluntary market with governing board approval. It further allows Citizens to base their offerings on geographic and risk characteristics that reduce its exposure while allowing Citizens’ leadership to ensure that the insurer of last resort has sufficient infrastructure to fulfill its obligations following Louisiana’s next severe weather event.

According to Citizens, this year five companies requested 633 residential policies, from a pool of approximately 2,000 policies made available for depopulation. All five companies participating in this year’s round of depopulation have previously participated in the program. They are Access Home Insurance Company, Maison Insurance Company, Ocean Harbor Casualty Insurance Company, Safepoint Insurance Company, and Spinnaker Insurance Company.

A letter from Citizens consumers notifies whose policies are selected for depopulation.

Policyholders have until February 28, 2019 to opt out of moving to a private company and choose to stay with Citizens.

More information can be found on the Citizens website at www.lacitizens.com/d epopulation.

What a Life!

By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd Jesus tells us that when we welcome the stranger, we welcome him

We have avoided another government shutdown. We are the only democracy that has government shutdowns.

When the government shuts down, the people who feel the pain are government and contract workers going without paychecks or those who depend on federal programs like food stamps for survival.

This is unjust and goes against all Christian values. (We should outlaw all Government shutdowns.)

President Trump, in his State of the Union speech, tried to vilify the immigrants by using El Paso as an example. He stated that before they built the fence, El Paso had a horrible crime rate and after the fence was built, it became one of the safest cities in the U.S. The truth is, El Paso was one of the safest cities in American before the fence. After they built the fence, the crime rate actually went up for a while. It went down again and is one of the safest cities in the U.S. Stacey Abrams, giving the Democratic response to the President’s State of the Union address, said, “Compassionate treatment at the border is not the same as open borders.”

Recently we have witnessed inconceivable human cruelty, a kind that has lasting repercussions for the vulnerable individuals involved. Who would believe that in the land of the free and the home of the brave, we would be threatened by penniless, shoeless migrants who have traveled hundreds of miles to escape gangs, violence and brutal poverty?

Most Rev. John Stowe is the Bishop of the Diocese of Lexington, KY. For the first 15 years of his priesthood, he worked on the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso, TX as pastor of a church.

He asks, “What kind of national security requires the separation of children from their parents? We have seen the great outcry that Americans do not want to be identified with cruelty, do not want to be identified as a nation that allows children to be warehoused and penned like livestock behind chain-link fences.”

He goes on to say, “We must insist that family incarceration is still the incarceration of children. We cannot allow the public to become accustomed to tent cities on military bases, asylum seekers turned away at the border, and families with or without children held in detention. Nor do we want to see the families who are escaping violence being sent back to the very places they risked everything to escape.

“We do not have the political will to protect immigrants’ human rights, to provide protection in the workplace, to provide a pathway to legal residency. These are people who are picking our produce, building our businesses and homes, caring for our children, tending our yards, processing our poultry, and doing the difficult work that many Americans will not do and do not envision their children doing, yet we do not allow these decent and hardworking people to participate in society.

“They live in fear of deportation, in fear of

raids, in the fear that in going to work on any given day they might be rounded up and their kids may come home to any empty house with no knowledge of where the officers took their parents.”

The President loves to blame illegal immigrants for their high crime rates. The truth is: the crime rate for illegal aliens is actually lower than the general population. A Texas study found, “The arrest rate for illegal immigrants was 40 percent below that of native-born Americans.”

In the parable of the Last Judgment the just ask, “‘When was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you?’ The king (Jesus) will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’”

(Matt. 25:38 & 40)
