“Due to lingering reconstruction demand in areas that were hit by hurricanes last year and brisk demand for Japanese cars that have better fuel efficiency, exports to the US are likely to be solid until around mid-2006.”
Junichi Makino
“The displaced survivors of hurricane relief ... have been displaced again in reconstruction.”
Jesse Jackson
“You've got to make sure he's OK so this thing doesn't linger all year long. You saw the difference some last year in the second half after he hurt it.”
Dusty Baker
“As with the 2005 session, the lingering impact of last year's hurricane season is again the driving force behind the property-casualty legislative agenda in Florida. Legislative leaders hope to address two key issues: How to attract additional insurance capital into the state to meet the demands of a growing population, and how to improve the operations of and, hopefully, reduce the size of, the residual market (Citizens Property Insurance Corporation). AIA believes draft legislation to be considered by the House Insurance Committee is positive for insurers, with one major exception.”
Cecil Pearce
“Last year, I proposed to use the additional resources to fund an economic stimulus project, which included the reconstruction of 56th Street south to Watkins Avenue.”
Mayor Jerre Van Hoose
“In a hurricane, everybody gets popped, so in the rebuilding there is a very substantial reconstruction and sprucing up.”
Joe Riley
“I think in many ways we can some up now the one year anniversary of this terrible natural disaster that the emergency relief went better than we feared but the reconstruction and rebuilding is taking more time than we hoped. There was no second wave of death and disease as was feared but too many people have their first anniversary in the same tent they were given in the first months.”
