Governor signs law on health insurance coverage

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards has signed legislation that could eventually lead to health insurance coverage for some residents if the federal Affordable Care Act is overturned. The Advocate reports the Democratic governor once called the bill a “fig leaf” aimed at saving Louisiana’s Republican attorney general, Jeff Landry, from embarrassment The new law authorizes Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon to study other states’ health care models to find a potential replacement for the individual health exchange under the Affordable Care Act. It would be needed only if the federal health law is overturned. Landry has joined a Texas lawsuit challenging the law that was signed in 2010 by then-President Barack Obama. Both Edwards and Landry backed bills to provide protection in case the federal law disappears. Republican lawmakers sided with Landry. Most state lawmakers, along with Landry and Edwards, are running for re-election this year. See Governor Page 2-A

Hidden oil spill: New study contradicts owner’s claims Photos by Babs

By JANET McCONNAUGHEY Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A new federally led study of oil seeping from a platform toppled off Louisiana’s coast 14½ years ago found releases lower than other recent estimates, but contradicts the well owner’s assertions about the amount and source of oil. Oil and gas have been leaking into the Gulf of Mexico since a subsea mudslide caused by Hurricane Ivan on Sept. 15, 2004, knocked over a Taylor Energy Co. production platform, which dragged and broke a bundle of well pipes. Taylor capped nine wells but said it couldn’t cap 16. The company contends oil sheens on the water’s surface indicate there’s only a dribble of 2.4 to 4 gallons of oil and gas a day. Taylor Energy, which is fighting a federal order to stop the seepage, also says any oil rising from the site is from oil-

soaked sediment and any gas is produced by living organisms. “The results of this study contradict these conclusions,” said the report paid for by the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, which oversees offshore drilling, and written by two National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists and one from Florida State University. Taylor said in an emailed statement that it wants verifiable scientific data about the leak and a scientifically and environmentally sound solution. The company has said remaining pipes are buried under so much oily and treacherous silt that stopping any leaks would do more environmental damage than letting them be. No coastal environmental damage has been reported from the ongoing seepage, unlike the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, an outside scientist said. The BP spill oiled at least 400 square miles of sea floor and 1,300 miles of shoreline from Texas to Florida, killing thousands of birds and contributing to dolphin deaths for years. The study’s authors figure that the total released each day from the Taylor site could have been as much as 4,500 gallons a day. They used sonar and a newly developed “bubblometer” to measure oil and gas bubbles rising through the water. These are based on direct measurements, while previous estimates have relied on satellite and remote sensing of the sheen of oil resulting from the seep, Chris Taylor, of NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science in Beaufort, North Carolina, said Friday. The figure is a conservative one, the report said. See Oil Spill Page 3-A

~~NEW LISTING~~

U.S. Rep. Garret Graves and Terrebonne officials were optimistic after meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers Thursday about the re-evaluated cost of the Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane protection system, lowered by several billion dollars. In 2014, the corps stated the project would cost about $10.3 billion to meet the standards set after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. Last Wednesday, the corps announced that it had re-evaluated the cost of the project, decreasing the size of the levee’s footprint and accounting for the $400 million of state and parish investment as well as lower material transportation costs. Those adjustments, among others, significantly reduced its price tag from $10.3 billion to between $3.2 billion and $6 billion, while still meeting the standards of protecting against a flood event that has a 1 percent chance of happening in any given year. Terrebonne and state officials have said they’re looking at the $3.2 billion option, which would have the system complete around 2035 and offer protection for about 50 years, into 2085. While he would like to see the project cost fall below $3 billion, Graves said, the decision for the corps to review the project last November and come back with a new price was “unprecedented.” “They’ve never done something like this before in the whole country,” he said.

Mosquitoes in Lockport test positive for West Nile

A mosquito sample recently collected in Lockport has tested positive for West Nile Encephalitis. The Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory has confirmed one of the mosquito samples tested positive for the disease. The sample was collected in the Lockport area on June 18. During the evening hours, truck mounted sprayers were assigned to the area in an effort to reduce/maintain the population. Spraying was conducted June 21, 22, and 23 weather permitting.

Edwards has said Republicans killing his measure was “Washington-style politics.” After lawmakers passed Landry’s bill, the attorney general called on Edwards to “follow the will of our people’s representatives” and sign the bill into law. Edwards quietly signed the bill Thursday without an announcement. The new law directs Donelon to study other states’ best practices for insurance pools, which could eventually replace the Affordable Care Act’s current individual market. Landry has said he wants to enact an insurance pool similar to what Maine has in place, called an “invisible high-risk pool.” Such a pool would subsidize insurers offering plans for people who don’t get coverage through work or other means, like the individual exchange currently does. But it is not clear where the money would come from to fund the system, something lawmakers pointed out as the bill made its way through the Legislature. Edwards previously cast doubt that the bill would maintain the current level of protections for those with pre-existing conditions, and highlighted the uncertainty surrounding its funding. “The bill doesn’t do any harm,” Edwards spokeswoman Christina Stephens said Friday. “It

conducts a limited study of a problem that Jeff Landry’s own lawsuit causes. The Governor respects the will of the Legislature to pass this bill and hopes to continue the discussion of how to protect Louisiana’s families.” Currently, people who don’t receive health coverage through their employer, the government or other means can access insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s individual exchange. Enrollment in the exchange in Louisiana has fallen from a high of 214,148 people in 2016 to a low of 92,948 this year, as people migrated to other forms of insurance like Medicaid expansion and employer-sponsored coverage. About 800,000 people in Louisiana have preexisting conditions. Another nearly half a mil-

lion receive health coverage through Medicaid expansion, which was also part of the Affordable Care Act.

Morganza From 1-A

Both Graves and Terrebonne Levee Director Reggie Dupre said they were encouraged by the corps’ willingness to work with them in the effort to garner federal funding. While Morganza-to-the-Gulf is an authorized project, it has yet to receive any federal money toward its construction. “We’re getting to the point where we have an actually buildable or digestible project when looking at the funding realities,” said Graves. Dupre said he’s seeing “a new level of engagement” from the corps, more than he’s seen since restrictions tightened after Katrina and the corps became more conservative. To bring the cost down further, Dupre said, locals were hoping to be able to use a provision in federal law that would allow non-federal sponsors to take over a project. This would put it in the hands of the state, which could work with local officials to look for more ways to lower the cost. “This is a perfect model of being able to do it,” he said. For these projects, Dupre said, the federal government takes on 65 percent of the cost. For the $3.2 billion option, that would be about $2.08 billion. Because it would take 15 to 16 years to complete, or by 2035, Dupre said, that would average out to about $130 million each year from the federal government. Graves said the $3.2 billion figure could come down to about $2 billion. According to Dupre and Graves, the corps said the next step in the process would be to review the cost-benefit ratio of the project to see how economical the project is as a use of taxpayer money. Dupre said the ratio at the $10.3 billion cost was 1.4 to 1, so the country would be getting back $1.40 for every $1 spent. While the corps initially stated that step could take another year, Graves said the parishes couldn’t wait that long. He said the schedule needs to match the urgency of the situation as the project has been in the works since the 1990s. Dupre said the corps left the meeting saying it wouldn’t take a year but didn’t provide an adjusted timeline. Once the corps follows through with the next step, Graves said, he would try to get an authorization and appropriation for the money from Congress. “Things aren’t perfect,” said Graves. “But I’m optimistic that we can get to a place where we can make this project a reality.”

Oil Spill

From 1-A

The extent of the pollution has been an issue since environmentalists investigating the 2010 BP oil spill noticed a persistent sheen outside the heavily oiled area. A 2015 investigation by The Associated Press revealed evidence that the leak was worse than the company or government had publicly reported. Afterward, the Coast Guard provided a new leak estimate about 20 times larger than the company’s at the time. The Coast Guard said in mid-May that the recurrent sheen about 11 miles from New Or-

leans had become “barely visible” since a containment system was installed several weeks earlier. Court papers said the system had captured more than 30,000 gallons of oil over 30 days. That works out to a daily amount in the middle of the sonar estimate and at the low end of the bubblometer estimate, the new report said. A federal expert’s report in Taylor Energy’s lawsuit put the figure at 10,500 to 29,400 gallons a day. That could be interpreted to mean more oil may have leaked there since 2004 than the estimated 130 million gallons from the BP gusher in 2010.

But Mason said the new report can’t be used to extrapolate the total spilled from the Taylor site. And Overton of LSU

The Board of Commissioners of the Greater Lafourche Port Commission opened the meeting at the Administration Office 16829 East Main Street, Cut Off, LA 70345 with the scheduled Public Hearing to consider levying increased millage rate after reassessment and rolling forward millage rate not exceeding the prior year’s maximum rate. Mr. Rodney Doucet addressed the board stating that after reading the notice he wanted to come and express his personal feelings. He stated it should go to the voters no matter what. He stated the millage was put in to start Fourchon. He believes our forefathers put it there for sooner or later it would go away. He is here today to say it should go away. He understands the millage is used to borrow or bond money for Fourchon, but it is hard for him to believe with all the buildings and everything in Fourchon that all that must be assets and worth something. With the additions coming with a new bridge, slips for rigs, 50’ depths, widening channels, and LNG, the millage should go away. The people that have been paying the millage is all the people down here, right? Executive Director Chett Chiasson replied the Tenth Ward. Doucet stated the people of the Tenth Ward have been paying millage for Port Fourchon, Road Sales Tax District 2, Drainage, Levees, and we continue to pay. He stated 63% of the Parish’s budget comes from the Tenth Ward. Doucet

is asking the board for this increased millage to go away. If not, put it to the voters and let the voters of Tenth Ward decide because of the investment they have made in Fourchon. We say we are the greatest Port in the world, it all comes thru Fourchon all the services for drilling and deepwater. He is not complaining about the Port. It gave us money and jobs for our people. If it wouldn’t be for the Port, we would have turned the lights off in 1986 and the two other times the oil industry shut down, but we survived. He stated 2 years ago didn’t you drop the rent for the tenants due to the oil industry, which President Harris Cheramie, Jr. replied yes. Doucet questioned if rent was increased back, which Cheramie replied it will be decided at the end of this year for 2020. Doucet stated the Port’s millage with the increase is $4 million and questioned what that money is used for, which Chiasson replied ongoing operations, maintenance, and potential new projects. Doucet stated so the Port does not have enough revenue generated between the Airport and Fourchon to cover this millage. Executive Director Chett Chiasson replied there are a lot of reasons for the millage. Later we will discuss a financial report, which will show the Port’s capabilities for future development. He stated everything you mentioned earlier takes a lot of money. We have over $350 million of investments that we need to attract new business you talked about and we don’t have that money. We will have to bond out money to be able to do all that work. Doucet stated so we don’t have enough assets in buildings and revenue to cover that $4 million, which Chiasson replied no not enough to cover the potential bonding of $100 million. Doucet questioned why we would want to increase or additional millage without the voter’s approval. John Melancon, Jr. stated we are not increasing we are rolling forward up to our approved millage. Doucet then read the notice that was advertised, which Chiasson replied the verbiage published is mandated by the State. Chiasson stated there are 3 ways a millage is created: constitutional, statutory, or voter-approved. The Port Commission is statutory millage so when we were created in 1960 it was put in the legislation and then in 1961 it was voted on by the people. Once it was approved by the voters, it was a statutory millage which by law it is there for as long as the board wants it. In terms of raising the millage, we are not going above our authorized rate. We are currently at 6.54 mills and our authorized max that we could go up to is 6.83 mills. Doucet said without voter approval, Chiasson replied correct since we are statutory authorized. Doucet said he is not sure if this will ever go back to the voters of the Tenth Ward, but it needs to go away. With no other public comments, the public hearing was adjourned at 10:40AM. The Board of Commissioners of the Greater Lafourche Port Commission met in regular session on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at 10:30 AM at the Administration Office 16829 East Main Street, Cut Off, LA 70345 immediately following the public hearing. President Cheramie called the meeting to order and Secretary P. Gisclair then called roll. ATTENDED: Harris Cheramie, Jr., Jimmy Lafont, Perry Gisclair, Rodney Gisclair, Curtis Pierce, John Melancon, Jr., Mike Callais, and Kris Callais. ABSENT: Larry Griffin Upon motion by K. Callais second by P. Gisclair, with no public comment, the board unanimously approved the minutes for April 17, 2019 regular meeting. Executive Director’s Report Northern Expansion – Engineer Joe Picciola reported Slip C 400’ East Part 2 Bulkhead project is being advertised with bid opening May 9th at 2PM. Engineer Larry Picciola reported the preconstruction meeting with Byron E. Talbot Contractors for the Minor Cheramie Sr. Road Paving project is scheduled for May 14th. The contracts have been

signed and we plan to issue the notice to proceed before the end of the month. Airport Projects – Joe Wheeler our new Airport Director reported in April the aircraft operations were 2134, with 10,482 passengers and 15,183 vehicles. He stated we are waiting feedback from FAA to move forward with the Airfield Drainage Improvements project. Regarding the Runway Approach Easement, Bryce Autin reported we have on the agenda to consider the easement to clear trees that potentially will impact our approach area. Engineer Joe Picciola reported the Airport Road Culvert Improvements project is substantially complete and in the lien period. There is a balancing change order to consider a deduct of $7,429.65, which recommendation is to approve. Other Projects – Engineer Joe Picciola reported Byron E. Talbot Contractor is moving along with the embankment and roadwork for the South Lafourche Levee District’s LA 1 Re-Alignment and Flood Wall. They drove steel sheet piles last week and driving H-piles this week. He stated next week they will move the crane out to start forming the concrete slab. Dustin Malbrough reported on the Section 203 Feasibility Study comment responses are complete and ready to send to the Corps’ office. We are scheduled to be in DC next week to review comments and explain further our intentions to coexist with industry and environment as we move forward. Chiasson stated we are also planning another trip to DC in June to meet with the Assistant Secretary of the Army Corps. Engineer John Plaisance reported the Public Boat Launch Pavilion Bulkhead Repairs are complete with clear lien and retainage payment ready for approval. April Danos reported the CCTV Slip B Camera and Equipment project is scheduled to be complete by May 31st. We are currently in the design and engineering phase of the Belle Pass Tower Upgrades. Davenport Presentation – Jimmy Sanderson reported Davenport was engaged to provide an independent review of the Port’s capital plans and evaluate the Port’s financial health. He stated over the past 6 months, Davenport has worked with the staff to review revenues and expenditures and to project future capital plans and prepare a financial forecast to evaluate impacts for different financial scenarios. The historic and projected revenues and expenses slide shows recent seaport operations have generated approximately $15 million of net revenue. Net revenues will remain steady over the next decade. Net revenue provides the Port with financial flexibility and options to pay-go capital, grow net position, and afford future debt services. The future capital plans of dredging Belle Pass to 50’ and Port to 30’ (Scenario A) is estimated that the Port’s share would be $378 million. The other scenario of dredging Belle Pass and the Port to 30’ (Scenario B) is estimated that the Port’s share would be $307 million. He then presented the Scenario A projected financial results including debt services with $50 million in 2023 and $50 million in 2025 includes a 6% interest rate over 30year payment structure. The overall capital funding sources show 74% of capital is funded from cash flow from operations and 26% from debt of $100 million. The Port still will have debt service coverage which is the difference between your debt service expenses versus your revenues, and in this case the low point of two times coverage in net revenues are doubled of what your debt service would be each year, which is a very strong position to be in. We will recommend that the Port adopts policies in that regard. Davenport also recommended a proposed minimum policy of $50 million in cash reserves. He then presented the summary of results for Scenario B projected financial debt services of $50 million in 2023 includes a 6% interest rate over 30year payment structure. Smaller project shows instead of two times

coverage you now have four times coverage. The overall capital funding sources show 84% of capital and 16% of debt management of $50 million. The Port is currently in a very sound financial position with strong annual net revenues and a healthy cash investment balance. The Port can take on these additional projects at the larger level or $100 million and still stay within a strong financial position of two times debt service coverage and a minimum of $50 million of reserves. In conclusion, we recommend the Port updates this report on an annual basis and adopt cash and investment policies which will all factor in on credit ratings in your future borrowing plans.

Joseph “Joe” Fertita announced his candidacy for Lafourche Parish President. Committee Reports Executive Committee - The committee met May 6th in Cut Off present were Cheramie, R. Gisclair, P.

R. Gisclair commented our tenants could all leave in 90 days with the clause that is in their lease. We need to keep them in our good graces.
