All of Louisiana has been declared an emergency and Governor Edwards says when they come up with an estimate on the damage he expects it to be in the millions. Edwards was in Shreveport to meet with residents and get a look at the damage for himself. "I have to imagine when we add up the damages it will be in the millions." , said the Governor, adding that the cost to repair and rebuild will pose a huge problem for the legislature due to the fiscal crisis our state was facing even before the storm. "We happen to be awash in red ink and water, and those two don't mix very well." Edwards said. "When the waters recede and we're able to evaluate the damages and get numbers on the total amount of the damages, we will then involve the federal government with respect to cost sharing on repairing those damages." the governor added.
