Vitter Reaffirms MR-GO Position to Corps of Engineers
Senator says Corps “back on track”
 
September 6, 2006 - 

(Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Sen. David Vitter today reaffirmed his position on MR-GO with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  After the conference call, Vitter made the following statement:

“I really think we’ve gotten the Corps back on track.  They assured me today that deep draft navigation through MR-GO is OFF the table and they are focused on the important restoration work needed to replenish the wetlands MR-GO has destroyed.  That’s essential to protect St. Bernard Parish and New Orleans East in particular.”

In addition, the Corps also promised that it will both include business relocation costs in its recommendations and consult extensively with state and local officials.
