Judge Lets Parish Challenge Terminal | New Orleans News

A St. Bernard Parish judge has blocked the port authorities from dismissing the parish’s lawsuit over the proposed Louisiana International Terminal, forcing the legal battle to move forward to trial. The parish argues the port lacks authority to build the $1 billion-plus terminal on their land, and this ruling gives them a crucial win — letting their core arguments be heard in court. While the port insists this is just a procedural setback and construction remains on track with federal permits already secured, parish president Louis Pomes celebrates the decision as a major victory in their fight to stop the project. The showdown isn’t over — but the parish just cleared a big hurdle. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
