Louisiana Tide Lands Lease Profits Exceed Federal Returns
The Times Picayune reports Louisiana earned about 28 times what the federal government would from tidelands leases off the Gulf coast. B L Krebs compares state and federal procedures, noting higher returns and stronger incentives under state bidding. Louisiana has leased over 2.5 million offshore acres, with $26.095 million in bonuses and rentals, versus $1.275 million under federal terms. The piece cites Secretary Krug on potential federal control, and contrasts 100 percent royalty for Louisiana with lower federal yields.
