"I have looked at the President's proposal and the so-called skinny budget, and for disaster, it is a disaster."

"And, by the way, don't call the Federal Government because we won't be there."

"It is absolutely nuts. But we are going to cut real preparedness to do this."

"To cut 25 percent of the budget for preparedness grants, to cut the pre-disaster mitigation funds, that is whistling through the graveyard."
