Anne Rolfes who was holding a large photo of Adley with his arm

around Louisiana Oil and Gas Association

President Don Briggs ldquoThis is a literal

embrace The legislation hersquos got is just

another extension of that embrace in which

hersquos running these bills on behalf of the oil

industry at the expense of the peoplerdquo

The legislation in question mdash Louisiana

Senate Bill No 553 mdash would affect state law

broadly but is aimed specifically at a lawsuit

from the Southeast Louisiana Flood

Protection Authority-East filed last July The

lawsuit seeks to hold nearly 100 oil and gas

firms financially accountable for damage done

to the statersquos wetlands through exploration and transportation efforts

The bill adds regional flood protection authorities to an existing law

which defines the use of special attorneys and makes using

contingency fee agreements allowable only if authorized by the Joint

Legislative Committee on the Budget The law if enacted would be

effective retroactively

The controversial Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-

East lawsuit would be dead in the water because the agency used

external counsel without such authority and wrote contingency fees

into those contracts

ldquoMy bill clarifies the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority is

an agency of Louisiana and cannot go out on its own without

approvalrdquo Adley said ldquoTheyrsquove done a good job talking about the

coast but thatrsquos not what this is aboutrdquo

The lawsuit was legally improper Adley said not because of its

content but because they only sought approval from the state attorney

general and not the governor who supports Adleyrsquos bill or the

legislature He also claims important details particularly contingency

fees for those special attorneys were kept hidden from the attorney

general

Adley does however take personal issue with the content of the

lawsuit Itrsquos bad policy he said

He said the oil and gas companies under fire in the legal battle did not

violate the law even if their activities were part of coastal erosion He

said the science presented as potential healing for the coast is bad

science and the wetlands are receding because of diversion and

flood protection efforts along with a naturally rising Gulf of Mexico

ldquoWe canrsquot do anything about that unless you want to hire a lawyer to go

sue Godrdquo Adley said ldquoMy position is you canrsquot sue people who have

not violated the law That is the worst possible message we could

send to Americardquo

As Chairman of the Transportation Highways and Public Works

Committee Adley said issues concerning the statersquos levees fall
