City Council President Helena Moreno Releases Statement on the Passing of Former Governor Kathleen Blanco

NEW ORLEANS - City Council President Helena Moreno has issued the following statement on the passing of former Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco:

"God bless Kathleen Blanco. A trailblazer, devoted public servant, mother, wife and mentor. She was tough, but always gracious. Supported many young elected leaders, but was particularly helpful to women. She, herself, shattered the greatest glass ceiling in Louisiana by becoming the state's first female governor. I and many other women are benefiting today because of the doors she opened for us. I thank the Governor for her service. May she Rest In Peace."
