"Ed Blakely's comments are offensive and untrue. Mr. Blakely's tenure at City Hall was a complete failure. By maligning the people of New Orleans, he is only trying to cover up his incompetence. His comments and his attitude are cowardly and disgraceful. New Orleans' prospects for recovery have improved as a result of Mr. Blakely's departure." -Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu
