Army Corps Criticized for Inaction on Flood Prevention
Rep. Clay Higgins has expressed frustration with the Army Corps of Engineers for not utilizing the $50 million allocated for dredging the Vermilion River, a project aimed at preventing flooding in Lafayette.
The Corps of Engineers no longer serves our republic.
According to science, dredging the river may not be an effective solution to prevent flooding. Despite this, Higgins had secured $50 million for the project in 2021, but none of the funds have been spent on dredging to date.
Higgins' criticism comes after years of perceived inaction by the Army Corps, with the congressman arguing that the organization has failed to serve the republic.
