Key Lawmakers Push for Louisiana Port Oversight as Avondale Deal Faces Tough Questions
Three Louisiana legislators are pushing to create a new, centralized strategy to oversee the state's port system, a move they say is needed to overcome a long history of infighting that has allowed Gulf Coast rivals to leapfrog the ports of south Louisiana.
State Sen. Patrick McMath and state Rep. Mark Wright, both Republicans from Covington who chair their respective chamber's transportation committee, and state Sen. Patrick Connick, R-Marrero, have introduced bills that they say aim to reform port strategy and beef up state oversight.
