It's a very detailed and very complex operation,
I'm not going to play that game. I focus on my own issues. We've been able to very commonsensical.
We just kept waiting and waiting and waiting but never did see a sense of urgency from Washington.
We've probably gotten 500 calls from people saying what the heck is going on with gas, and I gotta say I agree with you, ... What the heck is going on with gas?
Both federal governments let us down - there doesn't seem to be any sense of urgency,
They have a great facility there, well prepared, and we'll keep dividing between Phoenix and Tucson as they come in,
They (FEMA officials) just don't have their act together, ... They didn't know where their evacuees are; they didn't know how many each state had. Those are basic questions. You need competence at the top to manage these large-scale disasters.
As we move deeper into the 21st Century, the need for a quality public school system will become more of an economic issue and more of a civil rights issue.

For Arizonans, there's a particular connection because it was the U.S.S. Arizona and so on December 7, we have a lot of commemorations on the day of the attack, and it's a big part of Arizona life,
Right now we are not on a plane list for the next couple of days so that gives us the opportunity to focus on the people who are here,
The rule of law has become victim, and the people who are experiencing it the most are those communities along the border, ... It is a very, very big problem for us.
