Mitch Landrieu blasts GOP Senate candidate in Nevada for Katrina remarks

[Swede]

Las Vegas Sun reporter Jon Ralston last week dug up an interview Angle gave in 2005 to conservative KLAV radio in which she said she would have voted against emergency legislation to provide quick aid to disaster victims. Angle at the time was mounting an ultimately failed campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives.

"I think government needs to live within its means," Angle told the station. "I would like to go and join my voice with (Republican U.S. Rep.) Mike Pence and others, who when the $62 billion came out to be spent on Katrina relief, he said wait a minute, I'm voting no, and the reason is because I want to know where it's going, what it's going to be spent on, and who's going to be spending it. So I'd like to join my voice there."
