also found a huffington post (I know, extremely liberal site) discussing multi-million no-bid contract to rebuild New Orleans pretty quick after the disaster. >>
the site may be liberal, but the information accurate.
it was a disaster for the people of new orleans, and for the nation. But that is no reason to make things less convenient for shady corporations.
And any good capitalist knows that no-bid contracts are poor prognosticators of jobs done well, and there is also a correlation between no-bid contracts and higher taxpayer burdens.
But as Shakespeare wisely observed, "He jests at scars, that never felt a wound."
