Higgins Criticizes Army Corps Over Flood Prevention
Rep. Clay Higgins expressed frustration with the Army Corps of Engineers for not utilizing the allocated $50 million for dredging the Vermilion River, a project believed by some to help prevent flooding in Lafayette.
The Corps of Engineers no longer serves our republic.
Higgins' criticism stems from a 2021 win, where he secured $50 million in the Army Corps' work plan for the dredging project. However, to date, none of the allocated funds have been spent on dredging, despite his efforts.
It is worth noting that scientific opinions suggest that dredging may not significantly impact flood prevention.
