I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Plante.  Mr. Delmonico's comments
are so outrageous and offensive to the people of New Orleans
that one would have to wonder about voters who would listen to 
his recommendation.  I think his communication is one that
could have benefited greatly from the "sleep on it" rule.
