It isn’t enough that the relief effort by FEMA has been marked by inefficiency corruption and wastefulness. The the services supplies and contract bids needed for the refugees have been purchased at inordinately high prices and in many cases have not even been provided due to the lack of oversight exercised in the situation.

That would be thankfulness for another blissfully calm hurricane season. Only two years ago we were giving thanks for damage not being worse and for the inspirational teamwork in the aftermath of Hurricane Wilma.
