Louisiana Secures $67 Million for Flood Mitigation Under Infrastructure Law
Louisiana officials announced $67.7 million in new funding for flood mitigation projects across the state. This money comes from the federal infrastructure law and includes over $27 million for St. John Parish. Other funds will go to Livingston Parish and the City of Mandeville to help prevent future storm damage costs.
At the same time, some lawmakers are criticizing specific parts of the infrastructure law. Representative Chip Roy is pushing to repeal a mandate for impaired driving technology in new cars. Roy argues that these monitoring systems violate privacy rights and the Fourth Amendment by allowing government or corporate surveillance of drivers.
