Holy crap hell must have frozen over. FEMA is taking back the no-bid contracts that it gave out. This may be the sign of the growing power of good. Or maybe bush just cant take anymore bad press.
The acting head of FEMA says he’s “never been a fan” of no-bid contracts.
David Paulison says the agency will re-bid federal contracts that were handed out after Hurricane Katrina, to prevent waste or abuse.
More than 80 percent of at least one and-a-half (b) billion dollars in FEMA contracts were awarded with little or no competition.
Some were worded in ways that previous audits have cited as being highly prone to abuse. Paulison says the contracts will be looked at “very carefully.”
