La. Sinkhole Officials' Pricey Party For Fossil Fuel Industry (VIDEOS)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 
 
‘Laissez les bons  temps rouler!’ (Let the good times roll) is what Louisiana state officials exclaim in writing to oil and gas industry profiteers, inviting them to eat, drink and be merry at an upcoming conference they are sponsoring for Big Energy, while the state’s monster, oil and gas man-made sinkhole is swallowing part of the state.
 
“YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE BLUE ROOM FOR A NEW ORLEANS STYLE  JAZZ RECEPTION FEATURING AN AUTHENTIC JAZZ GROUP AND DELICIOUS FOOD AND DRINK,” reads the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources’ DNR) invitation to oil and gas industry folks, adding, “Laissez les bons  temps rouler!”
 
Meanwhile, the manmade (oil and gas industry-caused) 24-acre Louisiana sinkhole in Bayou Corne is out of control with thousands of industry-triggered earthquakes and flammable gas spewing, people suffering, and their govenor, Bobby Jindal, forsaking them.
 
“No wonder they do not have time to go to Bayou Corne,” said one concerned South Louisiana resident, Glo Conlin, in an email Saturday morning. “The Louisiana Dept. of Natural Resources, Dept. of Environmental Quality, the Office of the Attorney General, and the Department of Wildlife & Fisheries offered this party or conference for the oil and gas companies.”
 
The DNR is issuing more permits for oil and gas industry companies to continue their profitable storing of chemicals in the crippled 1-mile by 3-mile Napoleonville Salt Dome where the historic sinkhole is devouring the environment and justifiably causing residents to live in fear of an explosion and being swallowed by the sinkhole in a Lake Peigneur-type salt dome catastrophe.
 
Where will the upcoming conference accomodations be? Straight from the conference brochure, we see:
 
ACCOMMODATIONS: Not included in the conference registration fee. The Roosevelt New Orleans, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel, was named among the top 10 best luxury hotels in the United States in TripAdvisor’s 2012 Travelers’ Choice® awards. The Roosevelt is offering a special room rate of $149 for the conference. 
 
‘They All Ask’d For You’, Bobby

To the tune of They All Ask’d For You, Austin Walker has produced a video about Gov. Jindal and the upcoming Louisiana oil and gas conference and party.

 
 
“Million Dollar Man “Governor Bobby Jindal has been absent from the disaster area and the hundreds of people impacted by it, except once, in the seventh month of the crisis that he declared a state emergency and mandatory evacuation.
 
It has been said that his presence and subsequent photo ops at the monster sinkhole would be bad for business: that of industry and that of his personal political drive for national leadership.
 
“You made a pit stop there seven months after the hole became an issue, but , only after homeowners started to complain about your refusal to make an appearance,” Bayou Buzz reported today.
 
Despite locals and other critics across the nation saying about Jindal’s outrageous neglect of people negatively impacted by the sinkhole, Gov. Bobby Jindal’s internal polling still puts his approval rating at 50 percent in Louisiana, according to Politico.
