Just this project restores 16,568 acres in pecan island. We only raised 3 million as a state last year here in Louisiana. Yet since 1985 DU has spent $71 million. In the past 10 years they have spent 4 MILLION in Vermillion parish alone. There's a brand new one about to kick up to restore 8,600 acres near intracoastal city. And many more being planned. To say DU sends all your money up north is just plain stupid. These are just the numbers I have on vermillion parish. Maybe Latt will chime in with the Cameron parish numbers.

So your saying that they spend more money here than up north? Just asking. No scarcasm intended. Nor blasting intended

No don't take what I said out of context. I said to say that DU sends all the money up north is is stupid. I also said earlier it's no secret DU's main focus is and will always be the breeding grounds. My point is they just spend a few dollars here. We're talking millions. Just the project at white lake last year went 2 million. The new project near intracoastal will cost $2.6 million this year. I'm not saying you but a lot of other people who have bad opinion about DU are based on rumors not facts.
