“Justice has been served for the wrongdoing committed, and this matter can finally be put behind us,” he said. “The biggest tragedy in this day is that it is a reminder of the corrosion of trust and misuse of power that are counter to the ideals of public service. I pray for my city, and I have supreme confidence in the people of New Orleans to move forward in a positive and productive way – with grace, perseverance and dignity. New Orleans has a history of greatness, and our future will follow in that tradition.”
– Marc Morial, former New Orleans mayor
