John Bel Edwards said "I want to commend their leadership on the new innovative RCI program, the Residential Community Initiative program, that is going to combine private expertise and resources with public resources to get a better bang for the buck out of the taxpayers' money we spend and improve housing for our military men and women. The one concern I do want to say, Mr. Chairman, is at the end of the day, this appropriation bill is a half a billion dollars below what we spent last year." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
