Garbage Gumbo is an account of what can go wrong when incompetence, corruption, and greed replace environmental protection. This is another example of what makes Louisiana politics so intriguing to some and disappointing to others.
Garbage Gumbo is a well-researched and detailed account of one of the strangest political, environmental, and regulatory battles to have ever occurred in Louisiana. Although the crucial matter involves the permitting of a landfill, the lessons learned are most important to anyone wanting better governance in a state where wealth and power still count for more than protecting people or the environment. This is a take of a decades-long struggle that cost a small, rural family everything, except their principles. This story includes an undercover FBI sting, a federal investigation, state agency incompetence, allegations of political corruption and corporate greed.

John W. Sutherlin is professor of political science and public administration and the Chief Innovation & Research Officer (CIRO) for the University of Louisiana Monroe (ULM).
