In the money
March 15th, 2008 . by katrina connectionDirty bastards. How could they? What the @&!*@!?? These are just a few of the thoughts that came to mind on hearing that ICF, a Virginia company contracted to run the Louisiana Road Home program, is in the money while 56,000 homeowners are still out of a home.
Imagine that.
Something just doesn’t seem right about a deal where a company gets $914 million dollars to run a program but two and a half years after hurricane Katrina they still haven’t got rebuilding funds to the people who need it most.
The homeowners who can’t even get phone calls returned by ICF are suffering, especially the ones who are living in box-like FEMA trailers in front of their ruined homes. That’s where many of the FEMA trailers still out there issued to Katrina survivors are. And these taxpaying American citizens deserve much better. Hotel rooms just won’t do, either. They don’t want charity, FEMA trailers, or hotel rooms. They only want to rebuild homes they’ve worked so hard to acquire and maintain.
