Unusually for Jason, who was, at the time, in his thirties, Blanco is a very old man. Blanco is also a close friend of Fletcher. Blanco was imprisoned for murdering his wife. Throughout his lengthy prison sentence, he continued to profess his innocence, and when parole was granted, he refused, preferring the prospect of dying in prison to that of admitting guilt. When he is finally granted a pardon, Fletch warns him not to seek revenge on the person who really killed his wife.

Governor Blanco is willing to spend three million dollars minimum to get herself re-elected, but, has not found the money to help the dumbfounded make their way back home for the state which is essential to building confidence in its future.
We do not know if Blanco resisted calling in the National Guard because she feared and/or was perhaps under pressure from local governments in the greater New Orleans area not to do anything that might move the Katrina evacuees into their immediate areas, but we do see that such was the effect.
If Blanco wants to run for Governor this year, then she will have to provide answers to the questions that matter, because the visible results which presented themselves to our eyes as the television cameras put the Katrina tragedy before the world cannot be ignored.
