Ask the then mayor of New York - Rudy Guiliani how hard it was to get his people to work on the sunny days after September 11th. 2001. As I mentioned above, I think Landrieu's reference to "getting their people to work on a sunny day" is a reference to the transportation infrastucture; and not a reference to the city employees.
Her answer in that context is still a non sequitur; but I'd be cautious about accusing her of insulting the city employees.

"...most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work..."
Broad-sweeping, general statement.

I disagree. Had she been referring to budgetary constraints, there would not have been a reference to "on a sunny day". Sorry, you are WRONG on this one. I heard the exchange when it happened and she insulted the New Orleans public workers.

What difference would a sunny day make to transportation?

If she confused anyone with her remark, it's her job to clarify. Unlike the rats, we will hear her out.
