HARAHAN, La. (AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal’s efforts to undo a New Orleans-area flood board’s lawsuit against the oil and gas industry edged forward Thursday at the Legislature and in a nominating panel that gave him a chance to replace a member of the board who supported the lawsuit.

Tyrone Ben, a human resources manager for a mental health and counseling service in Chalmette, became the second of two nominees that could fill the seat now held by Tim Doody on the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East.
