RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:
Over the weekend New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu celebrated a big reelection victory. In triumph, the mayor reflected on the city's recovery from Hurricane Katrina back in 2005.
(SOUNDBITE OF SPEECH)
MAYOR MITCH LANDRIEU: We got up. We dusted ourselves off. We took that first step. And then we took another. We pressed on and we as a people have come back strong.
MONTAGNE: Still, there are plenty of problems facing Landrieu in his second term - among them high unemployment and crime.
