FEMA's Unkept Promises

@ 08:41 PM (91 months, 20 days ago)

The Associated Press reports that despite pledges to the contrary a month ago, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has failed to re-open four large no-bid contracts relative to Hurricane Katrina.

FEMA had promised to re-open the no-bid contracts, and had also promised to hire more minority-owned firms.

To date, those promises have gone unfulfilled.

Now is the time for the Congress to truly exercise its oversight function, and hold FEMA's feet to the fire.
