Part of the problem is how FEMA requires Puerto Ricans to apply for disaster aid. Lynch said FEMA workers were asking residents to give them copies of utility bills and bank routing numbers. Then the agency promised to follow up via email or text. But most people don't have electricity or phone service, and their homes and documents may be destroyed.
This is what the Mayor of San Juan was talking about, plus I saw a video (live feed) on Facebook of FEMA staff and employees getting their drink on in a luxury hotel lobby. And yet another video of government officials and nurses getting pedicures.
Our tax dollars hard at work.

Mayhap those MT linemen are even now repairing the lines ...

while their replacements are taking liquid fortitude for the job,
no hurry, no worry.

I don't know how true it is, but I saw a headline on the internet that proclaimed that the Puerto Rican government (meaning the governor) cancelled the contract with WhiteFish. Hmmmm, something really smells to high heaven....suddenly they withdraw the contract, probably because with the FBI conducting a full audit they will find
where the smell is coming from.
Prying eyes...they're watching you, watching your every move...Prying eyes!
With apologies to Hall & Oates.

want it to get fixed. But that's nuts.

Puerto Rico Kills Controversial Whitefish Contract

OK. So the 2 guys from Whitefish, MT, were to be paid $3M to repair the power
lines in PR. .. But PR has changed its mind.
I haven't seen any clear details on this story yet.
But most of the power is still out over there.
If this was our PG&E power lines here in my hometown ... PG&E woulda sent
their guys out the next day to fix on 'em. It can't very well be that PR has a
power grid & no one there is responsible to maintain it ... that would make no sense.
Strange Enough Yet?

I post these things not because I necessarily believe they are 'the truth', but because it's more information.
for your consideration:

Puerto Rico’s electric company moved Sunday to cancel a $300 million contract with a small Montana firm for repairs to the territory’s hurricane-ravaged electrical grid, saying controversy surrounding the agreement was distracting from the effort to restore power.
The contract with Whitefish Energy — a firm that had just two employees the day the storm hit — had drawn blistering criticism from members of Congress for days. And on Friday the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has a large role in determining government reimbursements, said it had “significant concerns” about how the contract was secured.
HAS IT NOT OCCURRED TO YOU BY NOW THAT IF YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO LOGICAL FALLACIES AND TROLLING YOUR SO-CALLED ARGUMENTS ARE LIES?

The figure is $300M and the contract was killed, according to reports, but this was a "greed" move on someone's part, but what I can't figure out is how they thought they were going to get away with it, with so much focus on the island's troubles.
That, I must say, was a real stupid move on the part of the governor, Secretary Renke and DJT. Now the FBI is on the case, and I would bet that there are quite a few FBI cops just itching to put a boot in the ass of Trump and Company for what was done to Comey.
This is getting better by the minute. Go ahead boys, go get 'em. And when you do boot him in the ass, make sure to wear your cowboy boots.

“significant concerns” - Now there's a fucking monumental understatement.
Well!? Is it Fake news or not?
It's what a friend of mine would say: Tira y Tapate.....loosely translated it means "duck and cover"
Anyway, Whitefish is being investigated by the FBI. These boys really thought they could slip a fastball by the Mighty Casey at bat...foolish thinking on their part.
Real subtle...good one, I say.
And Kiki, fencewalking takes skill, never forget that.
