How does something like this happen? There must have ben someone thinking "How can we handle this Katrina situation even worse than we did already? Ah! How about spending millions on sitting on donations for years!".
FEMA gives away $85 million of supplies for Katrina victims
FEMA gave away about $85 million in household goods meant for Hurricane Katrina victims, a CNN investigation has found.
The material, from basic kitchen goods to sleeping necessities, sat in warehouses for two years before the Federal Emergency Management Agency's giveaway to federal and state agencies this year.
James McIntyre, FEMA's acting press secretary, said that FEMA was spending more than $1 million a year to store the material and that another agency wanted the warehouses torn down, so "we needed to vacate them." (...)
He declined a request for an on-camera interview, telling CNN the giveaway was "not news." |
