Scalise gave members an update on economic developments from Washington, which impact Louisiana directly, pointing to recent announcements like the new $10 billion Meta data center and the $5.8 billion Hyundai steel plant. He also touched on coastal restoration, the effort to restore Louisiana’s coastline.
“Something else vital to us is really our existence as a state, and that is coastal restoration. We know the problems of coastal erosion, we know what it does,” said Scalise.
He touted President Trump’s signature legislative package, or what the president calls “The Big Beautiful Bill,” saying it will help Louisiana’s coastline directly because he added language that would allow the state to get more revenue from offshore drilling.
Scalise said he was able to add language in the Natural Resources Committee that lifts the cap on revenue sharing. That move is expected to produce hundreds of millions of dollars that Scalise told members would be used to restore Louisiana’s coast.
Scalise ended his speech by inviting members to contact his office if they need help as they work to improve Louisiana.
