James Perry Issues Statement on $474.7 Million Award to Replace Old Charity Hospital
NEW ORLEANS – Nonprofit executive and candidate for Mayor James Perry today issued a statement on the ruling by FEMA to award the state $474.5 million for the replacement of Old Charity Hospital.
“While this is a great day for New Orleans as we are one giant step closer to providing healthcare to our citizens it is unacceptable that it has taken almost five long years to take this step. President Obama and Sen. Mary Landrieu should be applauded and recognized for thinking outside the box to break this impasse through the creation of this arbitration process,” said Perry. “I can only hope that this funding is used in a way that respects neighborhoods like Mid-City and provides access to quality healthcare. We can achieve this through the Foundation for a Historic Louisiana Plan which I have supported since its creation.”
James Perry has the executive experience as a non-profit CEO to navigate city hall and the courage to fix what needs to be fixed. He has a record of building coalitions, building organizations, and making a real difference in people’s lives, whether it’s helping homeowners, fighting discrimination or standing up to politicians and exposing corruption.
Mr.Perry,I’d like you to ask yourself and the other candidates a question.What three ventures would you start with the stimmulus fund which has been made available by the Obama administration?
