Randy Perkins Quotations

The jury is out as to whether we look back in six months and say this money was well spent or not.

They can't score us highest, rank us best value for the federal government and then exclude me because I'm not from Mississippi. The moment anyone can show me how this makes any kind of financial or common sense, we will stand down.

We started off slow, but this is no one-man team. Everybody can do a little of everything.

You're always going to have a few who are unhappy. The fact is, as the work is diminishing, then more people are going to get less work.

My goal is to convince this Board to let the Corps stay, so we can stay and try to appease the local contractors, which is the right thing to do. If I can't do it, I fail and we leave.

I will do nothing that hinders the recovery effort in the state of Mississippi.

We do not want the board to vote the Corps of Engineers out because that votes us out. I don't know what we need to do to fix the problem.

I sign the checks, so I know. We have exceeded our contract requirements 15-fold in Mississippi.

It was close, so someone had to step up. They were throwing the ball in the same all game long. I just guessed and it paid off.
