en Our first request is that people send cash ... so we can buy materials closer to the (disaster) situation. It will also help the local economy rebuild.

en We can send up a request and of course we would send up a request after speaking with the elected officials, including the sheriff. It wouldn't just be my issueŠ I would take input from each of those people and if that is what they wanted then we would request it. But just because we requested it doesn't mean the governor would issue it.

en We plan to rebuild and rebuild quickly. While we will take the time necessary to carefully assess the situation, we are also dedicated to identifying the fastest way to rebuild and restart the Gulf Coast economy and the lives of our employees and their community.

en If we end up with cash, we can actually help the local economy finding the needs and helping the people,

en So many of the people, organizations and businesses that are helping rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf were themselves victims of the disaster. Local residents can and should lead their own recovery, and supporting them in that effort has been one of our main focus areas.

en It's the coolest way to get emergency cash to friends or your kids. Your daughter could be in line at a bookstore and sends you a request for $50 dollars to buy some books. In the time it takes to push some buttons I can send the money.

en From an economic development standpoint, most of the people who work there spend income on basics, and there's an immediate turnover into local economy. They buy groceries, pay rent and the money is quickly put back into the local economy.

en We will be employing 28 people at the plant. All of these should be local people. But over the 12-month period we should be affecting the local economy. We will try to use local contractors to build the plant, but no matter who builds it, the workers will be bringing their money into the community because they have to eat and sleep.

en You take a request down - literally, you take a request to the Finance Office. If the Pay Officer recognized your face and you were asking for $450,000 to pay a contractor for work, they would pay you in cash: $450,000. Out of control.
