I want to talk to the speaker and the lieutenant governor, |
I will say, sometimes I'm scared, too, ... But we are going to hitch up our britches. We're going to get this done. |
I worry that we had a little hurricane fatigue, ... People boarded up for Ivan, evacuated and nothing happened. Then they boarded up for Dennis, evacuated and nothing happened. I think until very, very late, a lot of people thought, 'Ah, I'm not going to do that again.' |
I'm extremely proud of how our National Guard has responded to these hurricane-support efforts. I've seen them in action on the coast, and they're doing everything possible to help protect lives and property throughout the state. |
I'm floored that the House leadership would turn its back on job creation for Mississippians. |
I'm for prosecuting them to the nth degree, ... This to me is like grave robbing, and we just can't tolerate it. |
I'm going to tell you, Mississippi got hit much harder than they did, but what happened in the aftermath ? it makes your stomach hurt to go miles and miles and miles and the houses are all under water up to the roof, |
I'm pleased that the Legislature saw fit to do that. I know it was a tough decision, but I think they made the right decision, |
If I said something like that, I would be pilloried. There is a line somewhere. Are the newspapers of the world just going to shrug it off when he says something like that? |
If we want world-class resorts that will be about much more than just gaming, ... if we want to build the Coast bigger and better than ever before, I believe we will fail if we don't allow the casinos to come on shore, even if only a few hundred feet. |
In the most obvious sense, if there's just one fund, that's simpler for everybody, ... But at the same time, when people are being incredibly generous and trying hard to help, my hat's off to them. |
In the next month or so, the federal government will act on a variety of issues and the state will have to take further action to do our share. |
It came in on Mississippi like a ton of bricks. It's a terrible storm. |
It looks like Hiroshima is what it looks like, |
It looks like Hiroshima, |
