re: #218 lawhawk
It’s the same scam as after Katrina. Contractors mainly from Florida (think Jeb Bush and pals) and Texas (you know who and his cronies) got the rebuilding contracts, brought in subcontractors who used undocumented workers and paid them shit, no locals needed, and everybody overbilled like hell (something simple like putting a blue tarp over a roof, which should have cost maybe $2 per sq ft being billed at $20 or 30 or 40 per, all paid from our taxes, no real questions asked). If the swamp keeps getting drained like this, it’s gonna be bigger than the Atchafalaya.
