David Paulson Quotations

We're so impressed with the state we're using it as a model (for future disasters), ... It was something we've not seen in a long time. There was a unified system and the sharing of information.

We need to make sure every person is qualified.

I am concerned that hurricane victims are not receiving the assistance they need and money is being wasted as these professionals remain idle, ... Congress acted quickly to make sure that FEMA had the funds necessary for the rescue and recovery effort. I hope proper precautions are being taken to ensure that relief funds are spent in the most efficient manner possible.

What you're looking for there is whether the operator clearly understood the nature and quality of his acts and that they were likely to result in great bodily injury, ... Was he aware of the likely consequences of his actions?

There are still too many people living in hotel rooms and we want to help them get into longer-term homes before the holidays.

We'll get all the reports in the morning and make a decision at that time.

What we have to do is change our societal acceptance, ... A community will have the level of gang activity that it's willing to tolerate.

Those affected by the storms should have the opportunity to become self-reliant again and reclaim some normalcy in their lives.

Every community in Solano County has a gang problem. It's here and it's here to stay, ... We have to be realistic about that. We're always going to have some gang activity. The important thing is to maintain control.

FEMA is going to be here. We're not going to leave Mississippi until we're done.

Putting a facility packed with radioactive material at Hawai'i's main airport, in the middle of urban Honolulu, and in a tsunami evacuation zone is almost asking for a natural disaster, air crash or terrorist attack. It is outrageous that the NRC has refused to conduct any analysis of the threats to the safety and health of me and my community that Pa'ina Hawaii's irradiator would pose.

It's the kind of case we don't see very often, so we need to gather all the information to make an appropriate filing decision.
