We are just not able to put together the financing necessary to maintain staffing at City Hall at its current level, ... We have no revenue stream and the prospect of getting revenue streams is pretty dicey. I think we can limp along for another month or two, but beyond two months we'll have to see. |

We are looking at 12 to 16 weeks before people can come in, ... and the other issue that's concerning me is we have dead bodies in the water. |
We are not letting our guards down, because as you know these hurricanes can change, |
We are not taking any crap, ... If you come back to this city and you think it's going to be the way it was before, we have a rude awakening for you. |
We are prepared as a city to put on the best Mardi Gras that we have ever seen. |
We are suspending all re-entry into the city of New Orleans, |
We believe our re-entry plan properly balances safety concerns and the needs of our citizens to begin rebuilding their lives, |
We can debate about whether the workmanship was good or not -- and probably it wasn't very good, |
We could receive a storm surge of three to five feet. |
We had people trapped on roofs, et cetera ... and they didn't know about it? That's just impossible. |
We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rebuild the greatest city in the world, ... It's been a wild ride, and we're getting ready to get on another wild ride. |
We have an incredible opportunity right now ... I don't know of anything else we can do at this point in time. |
We have the most significant challenge of any city in American history and they are dismissing ideas ad nauseam, ... Nobody is coming up with better ideas or alternative ideas, and it's really kind of teeing me off. |
We have to convince them to leave, ... It's not safe here. |
