Governor Jeff Landry named former state lawmaker and Terrebonne Parish President Gordon Dove as the Chairman of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority. Landry says Dove is the right man to ensure that coastal restoration projects are built swiftly and economically…
“We want to see rock. We want to see concrete. We want to see levies. We want to see things that protect our coast, that build our coast, and ensure that the community here can survive.”
Landry says Dove took the job because he wants to restructure the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority…
“Make the board more of a functioning, managing board that oversees the projects that are necessary to protect our coast.”
Landry also named petroleum engineer Ben Bienvenu as the Commissioner of Conservation. He says Bienvenu and Natural Resources Secretary Tyler Gray will work to increase refining capacity in Louisiana…
“We’re committed to making sure that Louisiana – over the next four years has one of the most robust oil and gas most expiration, midstream, and refining operations in the country.”
Landry says Louisiana refines 21-percent of the crude oil that’s down from 23-percent eight years ago and the governor wants to get that two-percent back.
This is so sad! I really like Landry and love the direction he is taking my home state! But dang Gordy dove? He dosent deserve a seat on any board anywhere in the country! This man got rich with good ole boy back door deals with Jerry Larpenter and the Ardoin Law firm! He was parish president in Houma for years and robbed the good taxpayers of terrebonne parish to enrich himself! The sight of this tub of lard sickens me! He got exposed for back room dealings and had the local sheriff and the ardoin firm Harris good citizens! What ever funds will be given to make much needed repairs to our coast will find its way to the pockets of men like Gordon Dove and the Good Ole Boy Politicians of south east Louisiana! It’s no wonder why we lost so much land and a state that thrives with oil money is always to broke to do anything about it! How is Louisiana always in deficit with the money these huge oil companies pay the state? It’s because of men like Dove! Louisiana can’t even afford to stop state tax like Texas and has triple the oilfield population and chemical refineries of Texas! Dove is the Joe Biden of Louisiana he will get his 10%
