HEY, HE'S GOT OLD HICKORY'S RACIAL POLICIES TOO! (via Brad S):

Tough talk on New Orleans: Money key to rebuilding, recovery chief tells Loyola crowd (Adam Bednar, 5/16/07, Baltimore Messenger)

Edward Blakely became executive director of the city of New Orleans' Office of Recovery Management on Jan. 8, the same date in history that Gen. Andrew Jackson won the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. [...]

Blakely is concerned that the city, which is down from 430,000 to 260,000 residents, has 40,000 school-aged children, but no public school system.

"Birth control is probably something needed in Louisiana," he told the audience.

Being a big city with out a public school system would be considered a plus in to a thinking person.
