The Director of the Office of Recovery, Ed Blakely, thinks New Orleanians ought to have a say in the recovery, but didn’t suggest how that goal of participation might be supported:

“What I get from people when I travel around (the city) is (that) they don’t know what’s going on, and that makes them anxious,” he said. “It’s very important that we get some kind of holistic communication. We have citizens, even here, who are thinking about, what am I going to do next?”
