Many Contracts for Storm Work Raise Questions | TPMCafe
[tpmcafe.com]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 - Topping the federal government's list of
costs related to Hurricane Katrina
is the $568 million in contracts for debris removal landed by a
Florida company with ties to Mississippi's
Republican governor. Near the bottom is an $89.95 bill for a pair
of brown steel-toe shoes
bought by an Environmental Protection Agency worker in Baton Rouge,
La.
The first detailed tally of commitments from federal agencies since
Hurricane Katrina
hit the Gulf Coast four weeks ago shows that more than 15 contracts
exceed $100 million,
including 5 of $500 million or more. Most of those were for
clearing away the trees,
homes and cars strewn across the region; purchasing trailers and
mobile homes; or providing
trucks, ships, buses and planes.
More than 80 percent of the $1.5 billion in contracts signed by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency alone
were awarded without bidding or with limited competition,
government records show, provoking concerns among auditors
and government officials about the potential for favoritism or
abuse."
Quick note on this.
Releif for Katrina victims housing is supposed to come through the
"ROAD HOME" project.

I only had a few inches of water in my house,
but it still made things VERY hard to do
everytime you sit down, lay down etc... you had to wipe your feet
off to not get everything in the house wet.
the bedsheets had hit teh ground and soaked up water, so i had to
sleep on the sofa.
(WITh my dog!)
try making your dog wipe his feet off with a towel before laying
down !
EVERY breath you take, every thought you have... really, everything
you do, is recorded in history for eternity. It can not be changed.
ALL IT CAN DO, is affect the future. That is its only lasting
residual. Brad M.
