As we’ve shown you here and here Roger Wicker seems determined to whitewash his record of failing the Coast. This is example #1 of how Roger Wicker failed our Gulf Coast and why for showing such lack of foresight he should not be allowed to serve as one of Mississippi’s United States Senators.
Roger Wicker was the only member of our Mississippi delegation to oppose $465 million for levees and coastal restoration after Katrina.
In March 2006, Wicker voted against Rep. Melancon’s amendment to increase emergency supplemental funding for the Army Corps of Engineers by $465 million. Of that, $35 million would go to general coastal restoration and hurricane protection and $430 million would go to levee armor. Rep. Pickering was one of 11 Republicans to vote for the funding, making Wicker the only member of the Mississippi delegation to vote No.
Roger Wicker is no “longtime friend of the Gulf Coast” as he claimed in his first ad.
