Boustany Praises Announcement of Waiver for Local Cost-Share Requirements for Calcasieu, Cameron Parishes for Ike Cleanup
October 9, 2008

Lake Charles, LA – U.S. Representative Charles W. Boustany, Jr., (R-Southwest Louisiana), today praised the President for waiving local requirements for Calcasieu and Cameron Parishes for Hurricane Ike cleanup.  As a result, the federal government will pay 100% of debris removal costs.

 

As Calcasieu and Cameron continue to rebuild and repair after hurricanes Gustav and Ike, the federal cost-share requirement was a real burden on their communities,” Boustany said.  “I am glad the President understands the difficulties they face, and I appreciate this waiver.  After meeting with many parish-wide leaders, the tough financial decisions they faced were apparent.  This waiver allows our parishes to get back up and running quicker.”
