2020 LA Senatorial race: on Environment


Adrian Perkins: Renegotiate EPA consent decree that nearly tripled in cost

Perkins wants to renegotiate the terms of the original consent decree to upgrade the city's sewage and drainage infrastructure. "We want to try to mitigate any type of financial pressure on the citizens of Shreveport," Perkins said. Burns McDonnell, the contracting firm, said that the projected amount of $350 million is closer to $1 billion. If the city is not showing adequate progress, it could potentially be fined by the EPA and Department of Justice for failure to meet completion deadlines.
