Crooked...just like our federal government.
YRHT, WetBankGuide and Scout linked to this story from the online Pic:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency classified a joint venture with headquarters in California and Texas as a local outfit in both Louisiana and Mississippi this year when the agency awarded travel trailer contracts that were supposed to benefit small local firms, records show.
The contractual process, which according to FEMA guidelines was explicitly designed to favor companies from areas directly hit by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, led to four deals of up to $100 million each for PRI/DJI Inc., a joint venture that the federal contracting register lists as a San Diego company. That is because PRI is a minority-owned firm based in California, while DJI is shorthand for Del-Jen Industries, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fluor Corp. of Irving, Texas.
And they say Louisiana politicians are supposedly crooked. Compared to Team Bush, the Gret Stet is a MODEL for clean government. THEY, on the other hand, are genuinely approaching the level of Joseph Mobutu.
