“Yes this administration has done better by any number of objective judgments. One, the people they’ve appointed are better – they’re more qualified. They’ve restructured the office in New Orleans. They have implemented an arbitration panel. They have moved over a billion dollars of projects through the pipeline in a short period of time. So that’s a “yes” they are doing much better. But the answer is still, in my view, “no” this country is not prepared for a catastrophic disaster.
