We are praying that the hurricane dissipates or that it weakens. This state can barely stand what happened to it.
I'm not going to stand here and play the blame game, ... We have a problem. Let's get to the problem.
I can not stand by while this vital operation is not being handled appropriately.
The financial affairs of Louisiana will be transparent and wide open as it pertains to this period of recovery, more so than it ever has been before, ... We will stand well to the expected scrutiny by the public, the Congress and the media.
