Dont get their name in the papers, dont see their day in the sun. They do it because its right. Live the basic values that define this country, a value that we have been reminded of in these past 10 years as we come back from a crisis to change this city had an economic crisis that spread throughout the nation, the basic notion that i am my brothers keeper and my sisters keeper and we look out for each other and we are all in this together. That is the story of new orleans at also the story of america, city that for almost 300 years has been the gateway to american soil.

How much of that goes past this room and is penetrated the city, that remains to be seen. St. Bernard parish twice voted down a tax to pay for the Operations Maintenance of the brandnew levee system. If they can do that in st. Bernard parish, and everybody here probably knows every single home in st. Bernard parish was underwater. Everyone of them. If they can do it in st. Bernard, and expect taxpayers around the country or in shreveport come on. St. Bernard had a special problem. Because of the local parish government. Those not from new orleans may not know that the parish president has been indicted on several charges. The whole thing is a mess. They may have just lumped all taxes and government together. It may not reflect their view. I dont know what the future is going to be. Gwen lets talk about opportunity and challenge. Just for fun.

Not a couple of individuals waking up and committing the crime. Police say up to four men using flashlights focused on the back of the building that sits on a rail yard.

Police and the special victims unit arrested him after one of his employees says he grabbed her breast and bit her on the cheek. Then, three more women came forward. And prosecutors think there may be even more victims out there. Im just shocked. I would have never expected that because hes really a good doctor. 54yearold tiani is married and lives in dumont according to prosecutors. The hospital says he hasnt had patients there in many years. Patients we spoke with are thinking twice about seeing him again. I really hope that isnt true. Thats what im saying.
