We approved a number of loan and bond issues for parishes statewide. |
We are expecting, hoping and will be asking for federal assistance. We are trying to determine what kind of federal relief we can expect. The municipalities that cannot make their bond payments are going to need help. We are hoping for substantial federal aid. |
We are very disappointed by this unilateral action by the Venezuelan government and are working closely with the US departments of State and Transport as will as our peer carriers. |
We believe we are containing the problem. |
We have said we need the $325 million and have justified this amount in court, and our need has not changed since then. But, how we get there is what we want to work out with (the union) during the upcoming negotiations. |

We will be playing this New Year's Eve at the American Legion where I first played with my father and several others on New Year's Eve 50 years ago. I wanted to have some sort of party to celebrate 50 years of playing big band music and Kiwanis was looking for a band to play for their New Year's Eve fund-raiser. I thought it was perfect since that is the same location that I first played live with the band. |
We're still optimistic that figures for the year will show a doubling over 2004 or even a tripling. |
We're very disappointed by this unilateral action by the Venezuelan government and we are working closely with the U.S. Departments of State and Transportation as well as our peer carriers who received similar notice to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. |
We're winning the war but we haven't won the war yet. I think whoever takes over this job in 20 years will still have to fight this fight. |
We've always been used to the French doing things differently, and in most cases it's charming. But in this case, it's a colossal mistake. It would kill off the French music industry. |
We've undersold ourselves. The retailers have been absorbing price changes. They're prepared to lower their margins. |
When someone is desperate, they can do almost anything. You could be this way all along and keeping it together, or life circumstances can lead you to a particular crossroads that make you do some very bad things. |
When the local people put money in a bank like this, they know that it understands their community and its opportunities. Its loans and activities, in turn, help to further the community's economy. |
