BY REPRESENTATIVES BERTHELOT, GAINES, LAMBERT, MILLER, PRICE,

A RESOLUTION
To commend the River Region Caucus and its member parishes for their cooperative efforts
toward improving the quality of life in the River Region.
WHEREAS, formed in 1998, the River Region Caucus (RRC) is comprised of the
governing bodies of Ascension, St. Charles, St. James, and St. John the Baptist parishes; and
WHEREAS, the mission of the RRC is to seek regional cooperation among the four
participating parishes on various issues and to work together as a regional alliance to solve
common problems; and
WHEREAS, because the region shares similar challenges and values and because the
parishes are a part of the same economic region, the parishes of the RRC have several
common and collective goals, including increasing awareness for state policy and
decisionmakers on issues related to levee protection, infrastructure improvements,
transportation and safety, traffic management, community development, environmental
planning, economic development, coastal erosion, and port facility improvements; working
cooperatively to maximize their images, services, and communities; improving the quality
of life for their citizens through better communication; identifying and planning
opportunities to promote and advance the culture and interests of the river region; and
increasing awareness of and educating the public and statewide decisionmakers about the
region; and
WHEREAS, the River Region Caucus merits a special measure of commendation for
its significant contributions toward meeting the needs of the citizens of Ascension,
St. Charles, St. James, and St. John the Baptist parishes and for the pride and honor it brings
to the River Region and to the state of Louisiana.
