[StBernard] Recovery

It wasnt taken offensively.  I too would like to clean it up, wash the
streets, clear out the drainage system, rebuild a few extra houses,etc.  The
spirit is still enthusiastic.  The physical exhaustion is the reality.
Guess we're really looking at 10 years and not 3 to 5; which is ok. No
regrets here.

Same as you, looking to Craig for insight, answers, and leadership.

Good Luck in your endeavors.

SJK,

That was my point.  Although I didn't make it very well.  It dawned on me 
that the way things looked in the parish was because of progress and 
recovery.  So it is a good thing.  I am saying, yes, we do and should have 
the ability to police better and enforce our laws better.  We are not doing 
a good enough job at that.  I know that everyone is overwhelmed.  But still 
I have not seen one police car patroling at all and I am in the parish an 
awful lot working on my property there.  Yes, I know the subdivisions you 
mentioned are doing very well, but we have so many more subdivisions that 
are not and where rebuilding is patchy and random.  I don't know what the 
answer is.  I don't have the answer.  I wish I could go pick up all this 
mess myself, but like everyone else, my plate is full. I didn't mean any 
offense, I'm just looking to Craig for insight, answers, and leadership.
