The department attributed the lapse to an ongoing restructuring that included the August retirement of Dana Murch, the DEP manager of dams and hydropower.

When Hamilton Simons-Jones was launching a green-collar work training program for high school- and college-aged students in 2008, he conducted research by touring biofuel plants throughout the South. But since Congress allowed a $1-per-gallon federal income tax credit to lapse for biodiesel producers, "a lot of those guys that were in full production in 2008 aren't right now, some of them going out of business," said Simons-Jones, chief development officer of Operation Reach, the New Orleans-based nonprofit that runs the Gulfsouth Youth Biodiesel Project.

He spent about seven days in jail before being released and sentenced to probation. We were told that the letters definitely helped.
