Jon,
The abuses of FEMA funds the GAO report found, I must say, irked at me a little bit yesterday and today as I read about them. After spending a few days last week working to help restore homes in Gulfport, Miss., you were able to get a feel for the need that still exists nine months later. There are churches that still need to be repaired, businesses that look as if a bomb, not a hurricane, destroyed it, and roads that are still out. Yet, FEMA is paying for someone’s adult entertainment pleasures. This is absurd to say the least. My question is simply why didn’t FEMA do a better job interviewing those who applied for assistance.
Someone from my native West Virginia sought FEMA help, did I read that right? What, did it rain too much in his yard?
