First off, I can only speak for Texas. I have been a board member in the Beaumont Golden Triangle chapter for seven years. Once banquet chairman then a chapter president. So, I got to really understand what was going on in the organization. Our annual banquet is tomorrow night. As always there will be two employees from CCA there. Not 20 as stated above. They will be working their butts off. In my opinion they are way underpaid for what they do. Money generated in a state is spent in that state. The Texas coastline has benefitted tremendously from CCA. I would suggest requesting funds from CCA Lousiana for projects already in place like rocking the ship channel. In Texas a state board of volunteers vote on these proposals.
I now live full time in Hackberry and fish Calcasieu. I am amazed by what I have personally witnessed at long point alone. Or what used to be long point. Don't set your power pole or remain anchored when a ship is passing or you will be washed away along with the shoreline! I understand the economics of the shipchannel and I support capitalism but this level of erosion is daily not annually. And, it doesn't require any team of overpaid engineers to figure out what is causing it. I urge members to attend state meeting and push for participation in funding this project for BigLake. Maybe they already are working on it. If so, thank you.
