This helps our residents to get back on their feet and puts them in the position where they can begin rebuilding. |
This is a shot in the arm to the recovery that will make a big difference. |
This is absolutely the worst-case situation we have long feared. Pray for Louisiana citizens as this storm nears. |
This is not everybody's dream house. This is a modest equivalent. |
This kind of major public works project has to be a state and federal partnership. |
We are confident that this money is going to come through. |
We are providing ways to keep homeowners as homeowners. You can successfully rebuild South Louisiana with the package we have proposed. |
We need to keep working to get our national surrogates to explain the facts - that the federal response was anemic and had been shortchanged by budget cuts and avoiding responsibilities like protecting Louisiana levees and wetlands. |
We think it's very important. We want feedback from all our citizens. This is not an opportunity to sign up for a FEMA trailer or certain programs. This is an opportunity for them to tell us what would make them come back home. |
We want to make sure that folks know that our city and its culture are on the rebound. They'll see how much work there is to be done, but they'll also see that there's great potential for New Orleans' future. |
We've got to have the $4.2 billion to make it work, but if we wait until we have it we'll be criticized that we are delaying the process. We want people to feel comfortable that the money is going to be there for them and to see that the wheels of the process are going forward. |
What this information shows, I think, is this was the most expensive natural disaster in American history. |
