A lot of things dealing with the hurricane unfortunately have had people questioning the money coming into Mississippi and Louisiana. As Sen. Lott indicated, our state has not asked for anything that's unreasonable or that the people here don't deserve.
Sen. Lott has been looking forward to bringing Sen. McCain down to see the devastation for himself.
Sen. Lott feels any time he can show his colleagues up close what Mississippians are facing then certainly that contributes to a better understanding of the Katrina recovery and what it's going to take to continue that recovery over the long term.
Clearly, one of the biggest challenges that we face is our continuing Katrina recovery.
This (Katrina recovery) remains the issue for the people around the Gulf. Sen. Lott expects the administration to continue keeping recovery on the forefront.
I think he'd want to look at this and consider it.
Mississippi's delegation, including Sen. Lott, will continue making sure no one in Washington of any political stripe forgets Mississippi's recovery and rebuilding needs.
The senator does not believe Mississippi or the rest of the nation will accept this.
I think there's a sense that as the next hurricane season approaches quickly, there needs to be some good, solid language in place so we can maximize the local contractors.
The GO Zone could be attractive to businesses like this.
