Conn. Post - La. lawmakers to discuss sinkhole in Feb.
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana lawmakers are planning to hold a joint meeting of the committees in mid-February about the large sinkhole in northern Assumption Parish.
State Sen. Rick Ward III, vice chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee, tells The Advocate (http://bit.ly/10T0CK8 ) the joint hearing, which he said has been discussed for months, would likely be held at the State Capitol.

Health Dept. Gives NEW Update
– but leaves OUT all the information!
The Louisiana DHH’s new Bayou Corne situation update has what they tested for but NO info on the results. Notice NO testing for radioactive elements. Don’t worry. They say nothing in Bayou Corne poses a health hazard.
On Wings of Care has done a NEW FLY OVER!

Crosstex has a Jan. 20 update listing the status of their butane cavern about to be leaned on by next-door-neighbor-cavern.
-Well #1 – 2,897 barrels of propane
-Well #2 – 146,231 barrels of normal butane
By now they may be nearly done with their product migration from Well #1 to (too close by our estimate!) Well #2.
