A landmark verdict holding the oil industry responsible for Louisiana coastal damage was more than a decade in the making. It may only be the beginning of a much bigger fight.

Jeff Landry's bid to overhaul the agency that maintains New Orleans' hurricane protection levees and pumps will be considered by the state Legislature, drawing fresh concerns that post-Katrina reforms will be weakened. A bill put forward by Rep. Jacob Braud (R-Belle Chasse) would reduce the size of the South Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East’s board from nine members to seven, and scrap the role of its nominating committee.
