The Louisiana Legislature & the Economic Case for Restoration: On this week's episode of Delta Dispatches, Simone and Jacques discuss how the 2017 Coastal Master Plan becomes law and the economic case for recovery. In the first two segments Simone has Rep. Jerome "Zee" Zeringue (R - District 52) about his time as the chairman and executive director of the CPRA.
