Blanco profiled in NY Times

New York Times:

"'People can't stop comparing her to Rudy Giuliani,' said State Representative Troy M. Hebert, a Democrat from Jeanerette. 'When 9/11 came, he looked like he was doing something. I'm not sure he was. But he looked like it.'

But Ms. Blanco is fighting back. She points to several important victories in a special legislative session last month - including the state takeover of New Orleans's failing schools - as evidence of decisive action. And she is planning a media blitz, using weekly newspaper columns and regular radio appearances to outline her reconstruction plans."
