~Taking a cue from the Corps of Engineers, LSU has resorted to Tax-Funded Public Relations Spinn to turn up the heat in a battle over plans to build a state teaching hospital in lower Mid-City.
No longer able to cravenly Cheat the People, snap up property
-without a business plan- LSU now tries to Scare the People.
The Foundation for Louisiana State University is airing a radio ad that raises the specter of LSU moving some of its medical school operations out of New Orleans. Oh? What Hippocratic Hypocrisy!
This is an ill-advised use of scant state tax money to run these ads to lobby for Real Estate interests. It would behoove the Public to read this "Foundation's" affiliation agreement pdf.

Corps to hold flood control meeting~Christine Harvey
~The corps will be discussing the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Project, a study to develop hurricane protection measures, including flood control and coastal restoration, that span across coastal Louisiana, Poche said. In addition, representatives will talk about various southeast Louisiana flood control projects, including work on the W14 canal in and around Slidell, said Rene Poche, Corps Public Relations Spokesman.
However, no other plans are pending for more stringent flood control measures for St. Tammany Parish, with the regional flood control and restoration plans several years from reality, he said.
Corps snookers state officials into sharing $11.8 million cost for more studies of coastal projects.
