Aaron Broussard is the president of Jefferson Parish. The nursing home was in St. Bernard parish. I'm not sure if the nursing home in this article is the same one Broussard was crying over in which the mother of his friend died, but I did read an article which stated that the nursing home referred to by Broussard was offered busses pre-storm and refused.
The crying crook, Broussard, is under federal investigation for stealing funds. He was bawling about FEMA and the president not coming to help the nursing home victims evacuate when it was the owners' decision to turn down buses to get the elderly out. He is beyond despicable.

The man he was talking about is Thomas Rodrigue, who told “Dateline” that his 92-year-old mother was one of 32 elderly people found dead at the St. Rita’s nursing home.
