We are poised for a strong economic recovery. New Orleans is one of the oldest cities in America. Federal and state activities are in place to design, develop, construct, and enhance protection from flooding. We have withstood major storms before, and will appropriately address the infrastructure so that this type of devastation never occurs again.

Twenty might not sound like a lot to someone from Indianapolis. But I'm from Chicago, and 20 touchdown passes is more than any Bears quarterback has thrown in 38 of the last 39 years.

As soon as the storms hit, our immediate mission was to contact our large employers throughout the impacted area to see what their situation was and to find a way to get them back on their feet.

The larger corporations have such significant resources, they take their initiative and move forward without significant needs.

I'm from Chicago, ... and 20 touchdowns in a season is more than any Bears quarterback has had in 38 of the past 39 years.
