## Resource

State Sen. Pat Connick (R–Marrero) joins Newell to discuss his proposed legislation to separate the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority–East Police Department from the levee authority and place it under Louisiana State Police. Sen. Connick explains why he believes the levee board should focus on flood protection while a dedicated law enforcement agency handles policing duties and addresses broader efforts to reform levee governance and strengthen accountability within the region’s flood protection system.
