Katrina Corruption Watch #3

Here is the quote of the week from Louisiana’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, referring to $60 million that was mis-spent and/or unaccounted for long before Katrina struck ....

Mark Smith, a spokesman for the Louisiana emergency office, said the agency had responded to calls for reform, and that “we now have the policy and personnel in place to ensure that past problems aren’t repeated.”

He said earlier problems were largely administrative mistakes, not due to corruption.

Correct me if I’m wrong but did he just say $60 million went missing because of “administrative mistakes”? There’s more ....

For instance, a Nov. 30, 2004, report by Tonda L. Hadley, a director in the Denton field office, examined $40.5 million sent to the Louisiana agency, mostly for the Hazard Mitigation program. The report found that the state’s emergency office did not have receipts to account for 97% of the $15.4 million it had awarded to subcontractors on 19 major projects. The report also said the Louisiana agency had misspent $617,787 between May 2000 and September 2003.

Questionable expenditures identified by the inspector general included $2,400 for sod installation, several thousand dollars for a trip to Germany by the deputy director, $1,071 for curtains, and $595 for an L.L. Bean parka and briefcase. The inspector general also challenged unspecified spending for camera equipment, professional dues and a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria.

The day before the report was issued, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Louisiana obtained an indictment against Michael L. Brown, deputy director of the Louisiana office of emergency preparedness. (Brown is no relation to former FEMA director Michael D. Brown who resigned this week.) Louisiana’s deputy director oversaw the state’s Hazard Mitigation program.

Brown was charged with conspiring to obstruct the inspector general’s investigation and for making a false statement to a federal investigator. Michael C. Appe, another senior state agency official, also was charged with obstructing the audit. Months earlier, Appe had been appointed as head of a “surge team” to review projects funded with FEMA money. The team’s mission was to help spot abuses. Both Appe and Brown hold the rank of colonel for their roles in overseeing elements of the state National Guard.

Appe was arrested in Baton Rouge last November, as was Daniel J. Falanga, the state agency’s flood-mitigation officer. Falanga was accused of committing perjury before a grand jury investigating misuse of FEMA funds. All three men have pleaded not guilty to the charges and deny wrongdoing, according to their lawyers. Trial dates remain uncertain because the hurricane disrupted court schedules. According to the indictment, Brown and Appe conspired in 2000 to use $175,000 in FEMA funds to cover a shortfall in a related agency’s budget. Later, when the inspector general began investigating the agency’s use of FEMA money, the two men conspired to create a fake, backdated memo to cover up the earlier diversion of funds, the indictment says.

State agency spokesman Smith said Brown had traveled to Germany, but to attend a conference. He declined to answer questions about alleged improper spending, citing the pending trial. Smith said at the time, state officials believed the trip to Germany was a proper expenditure. Brown’s lawyer, Elton Richey, said his client tried to spend federal disaster funds wisely despite job turnover and confusion between state agency officials and FEMA overseers. He said FEMA kept changing the rules. Marty Stroud, a lawyer who represents Appe and Falanga, said, “There are no charges that anyone in this case enriched himself at the expense of a federal program.”

Hadley, of the inspector general’s office, issued a second report on Feb. 25, 2005, which tracked state spending of FEMA money to pay for “extraordinary costs,” a special category used for the administration of disaster assistance programs. It said the agency had improperly spent $247,166 for items such as a car, computers, membership dues and travel to seminars. In addition to alleged misspending reported in the two audits, FEMA has asked for the return of $10.7 million allocated to a program for buying property in high-risk flood areas. Most of that money was passed on to local communities to determine which property owners would benefit.

FEMA alleged the Louisiana agency had not properly monitored expenditures, and failed to ensure that properties receiving the funds were eligible. About $2.8 million of the refund sought by FEMA went to consultant fees. Most of that money went to Aegis Innovative Systems, a Baton Rouge firm hired by many parishes to administer the flood buyout program. Aegis owners include Mark Howard, a former official at the Louisiana agency. State Sen. Reggie Dupre said it appeared that parishes employing Aegis were especially successful in winning money from the state emergency preparedness agency. “It smells like a horrible brother-in-law deal to me, “ he said in a phone interview. An Aegis attorney did not respond to a request for comment.

Bear in mind as you read the above that $200 billion is on its way to these crooks.

Jeb Bush’s Son Busted

imageimageSon of Florida Gov. Bush Arrested
AUSTIN, TX (AP)

The youngest son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was arrested early Friday and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, law enforcement officials said. John Ellis Bush, 21, was arrested by agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission at 2:30 a.m. on a corner of Austin’s Sixth Street bar district, said commission spokesman Roger Wade.

The nephew of President Bush was released on $2,500 bond for the resisting arrest charge, and on a personal recognizance bond for the public intoxication charge, officials said. Wade said he had no further details about the charges.

Gov. Bush and his wife Columba appeared Friday evening at a museum reception in Miami. “My son’s doing fine. It’s a private matter. We will support him. We’re sad for him. But I’m not going to discuss it on the public square with 30 cameras,” the governor told reporters.

It’s not the first time Florida’s first family has experienced legal problems with one of their children. Noelle Bush, the governor’s daughter, was arrested in January 2002 and accused of trying to pass a fraudulent prescription at a pharmacy to obtain the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. She completed a drug rehabilitation program in August 2003 and a judge dismissed the drug charges against her.

Of course the media will be all over this story but will probably deep-six the story on Kate Moss below. I post it here only to make note of one fact: I’ve lived in Austin, Texas and one thing I know for sure is that at 2:30am on just about any morning, you ain’t gonna find a single sober human on Sixth Street to save your life. It’s “Party Central” in Austin. I wonder why Bush was singled out? Never mind. I already know the answer to that ....

Kate Moss: Coke-Head

imageimageSupermodel Admits Cocaine Use
London (CNN)

Supermodel Kate Moss acknowledged to the Hennes & Mauritz clothing chain that tabloid allegations that she recently used cocaine are true, an H&M spokeswoman said Saturday. Moss, who is to model one of H&M’s upcoming clothing lines, has apologized for her drug use and promised in writing to abide by a company policy that models be “healthy, wholesome and sound,” spokeswoman Liv Asarnoj said.

H&M had decided to keep Moss on, Asarnoj told The Associated Press in a phone interview from the company’s headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. “We strongly disapprove of her action,” Asarnoj said. “We feel that this is very unfortunate.” Asarnoj said Moss had acknowledged the allegations of drug use were true. “That’s why she was so regretful,” Asarnoj said. “We are giving her a second chance.”

Noelle Doukas, who answered the phone at the Storm modeling agency in London, which represents Moss, 31, said no one there was available to comment on the allegations, which have filled Britain’s newspapers. The Daily Mirror tabloid printed images from a video which it said showed the model doing five lines of cocaine in 40 minutes at a late-night music recording session, preparing them with a credit card and snorting the drug through a five-pound note.

The tabloid said the video was made at a West London recording studio last week during “a Mirror undercover investigation,” but gave no further details. The newspaper said Moss had taken a large amount of cocaine out of her handbag. Her boyfriend Pete Doherty, the musician whose alleged drug problems and brushes with the law have made headlines for months, was also present, the paper reported. The Mirror said Moss had shouted obscenities when one of its reporters asked her for comment on the allegations outside a restaurant in New York, where she was attending the city’s Fashion Week shows.

Hmmmmm .... I wonder how many of us “little people” would get a “second chance” if our employer caught us tootin’ coke .... ?

New Smiley Emoticon For Oink

Oink has requested a “pearls” smiley (obviously to be placed before swine) in our smiley library. I couldn’t find a “pearls” smiley but I did find a new smiley that seems quite appropriate for anyone addressing comments to Oink. Let’s see how fast the crew here can identify the new smiley ....

Katrina Corruption Watch #2

Bulletin #2: FEMA debit cards being used in strip clubs in Houston? Taxpayers money being used for lap dances for hurricane voctimes? Somehow, it absolutely has to be George Bush’s fault ....

Storm-Relief Money Spent at Strip Clubs
Police in Houston find misuse of FEMA’s $2,000 debit cards
(WORLDNET DAILY)

On the heels of a report earlier this week that Atlanta area Katrina victims were using $2,000 debit cards to purchase luxury items like Louis Vuitton handbags, Houston police yesterday discovered the cards, provided by FEMA and the Red Cross, being used at local strip clubs. The Houston Police Department just formed a task force to investigate the abuse of the cards, which were distributed to thousands of Katrina hurricane victims to provide for necessities, such as food, clothing and toiletries. On the first day, the police found the cards being used to buy beer while ogling exotic dancers.

According to a report by KPRC, Channel 2, in Houston, a manager at Caligula XXI Gentlemen’s Club said he has seen at least one debit card used at his club. A bartender at Baby Dolls, identified only as “Abby,” said she has seen many of the cards used at her establishment. “A lot of customers have been coming in from Louisiana and they’ve been real happy about the $1.75 beers and they’re really nice,” she said. She couldn’t say for sure whether the cards she has seen were from the Red Cross or from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but she found no fault in using federal dollars to guzzle beer at a strip club.

“You lost your whole house, then, why not?” she said “You might want some beer in a strip club. There are a lot of guys out there that like to do that.” The wife of the manager of another strip club told KPRC that her husband has seen patrons from Louisiana offering Red Cross and FEMA debit cards, but she declined to reveal the club’s name. The FEMA and Red Cross cards have few restrictions, but some evacuees have gotten into trouble when they tried to get additional cards.

Meanwhile, Houston police are going undercover as evacuees to keep their eyes on those who get in line more than once. “There may be some individuals who use some false identifications or providing false information on the forms, so we’re targeting those persons also,” said Lt. Robert Manzo. Officers handed out a warning that falsifying government documents could result in a 20-year prison sentence.

Earlier this week, the New York Daily News reported that “profiteering ghouls” were using the debit cards in luxury-goods stores as far away as Atlanta. “We’ve seen three of the cards,” said a senior employee of the Louis Vuitton store at the Lenox Square Mall in affluent Buckhead. “Two I’m certain have purchased; one actually asked if she could use it in the store. This has been since Saturday.” Restrictions on the cards say they can’t be used to purchase alcohol, tobacco or firearms.

The clerk at the Louis Vuitton store said: “There’s nothing legally that prevents us from taking it, unfortunately – other than morally, it’s wrong.” The unnamed employee told the Daily News two women who had made purchases with the card each bought a signature monogrammed Louis Vuitton handbag in the $800 range. Meanwhile, in Memphis, Tenn., residents told News Channel 3 they saw Hurricane Katrina survivors purchase designer jeans, high heels and purses with their $2,000 emergency debit cards. According to the report, one Katrina victim was spotted at a Cordova clothier buying stacks of $65 designer jeans. Another viewer reported spotting a survivor buying “over $700 in high heel shoes and purses” at a Memphis department store “while (her) younger children, most of them looked under the age of 3, looked like they haven’t showered in weeks.”

“If they make an inappropriate decision as to what to purchase, the whole issue of victims’ rights comes into play,” said Bill Hildebrandt, chief executive officer of the Mid-South chapter of the Red Cross. “They have a right, I guess, to be inappropriate.” Hildebrandt conceded that the purchases could be traced, but he said if the receipts just said “shirt” or “jeans” or “clothes,” there would be nothing the Red Cross could do. He said the Mid-South chapter stopped using the cards because the process became too cumbersome.

Katrina Corruption Watch #1

Bulletin #1: $200 billion is about to flow into Louisiana where state homeland security officials are already under indictment for misusing FEMA funds between 1997-2002. The state already owes FEMA $30 million for earlier years’ mis-spent funds. Imagine what will happen now that $200 billion is being dumped in their laps .... ?

Corruption a Worry As Katrina Aid Flows
BATON ROUGE (AP)

The sudden flow of billions of dollars in hurricane relief aid into New Orleans has raised fears that some of it is going to be lost to graft and sticky fingers in a state with a long and rich history of corruption. A group of current and former state officials is calling for more safeguards, more transparency in spending and the appointment of independent analysts to avoid corruption and keep the state out of trouble.

“If we don’t do this properly, we’re going to see the second looting of areas impacted by this horrible storm,” said Louisiana Treasurer John Kennedy. Kennedy said he does not want his name on the checks that spend the federal recovery dollars until he is satisfied that strict anti-fraud procedures are in place.

The billions in federal relief pledged to help Louisiana recover from Hurricane Katrina will flow through the state’s homeland security office, which already owes the Federal Emergency Management Agency $30 million for allegedly mishandling similar aid. FEMA officials said the state could not show that grant dollars given to parishes between 1997 and 2002 to buy out properties or elevate flood-prone houses were spent properly. The case led to the indictment last year of homeland security employees accused of trying to hide the suspected misuse of money.

Against that backdrop, Gov. Kathleen Blanco’s chief budget adviser said that auditors and investigators are watching the latest federal money as it comes in to make sure it is properly spent and documented. “We did not want to have those issues. And we are constantly reviewing. If we have to beef up more, we’ll beef up more,” said Commissioner of Administration Jerry Luke LeBlanc.

LeBlanc said Louisiana’s legislative auditor and inspector general are watching the cash now rather than waiting until after the money is spent, and he said changes were made to the state’s accounting system to more closely track spending. In addition, 30 U.S. Homeland Security Department investigators and auditors are being sent to the Gulf Coast to ensure federal funds are properly distributed.

The rescue, relief and rebuilding project across the region is estimated at more than $200 billion. FEMA pays for certain items directly. In other cases, the money passes through Louisiana’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, which either spends the money itself or funnels it to state and local agencies. FEMA can demand the repayment of any money it believes was spent improperly.

Most Ridiculous Item Of The Day

This story needs no prelude, no introduction and no explanation. All it needs is somebody, somewhere to explain to me why we aren’t allowed to have open season on lawyers. This story is an outrage and an offense against any rules of sanity, rhyme or reason ....

Injustice For Almost All
(BOSTON GLOBE)
by Brian McGrory

Every once in a while, usually for brief periods of time, the world starts to gain the veneer of sanity. Papi hits another game-winning home run. The moronic head of FEMA is sent packing from New Orleans. George W. Bush accepts blame for the miserable federal response to Katrina. Then, just when you think that all the pieces are falling into place and that maybe, just maybe, this collective life isn’t so crazy after all, something happens to remind you that, yes, in fact, it really is.

Take the case of Nancy Gertner, Palmer & Dodge, and an especially repugnant criminal by the name of Daniel LaPlante. By way of acquaintance, Gertner is a US District Court judge. Palmer & Dodge is an elite downtown law firm. Daniel LaPlante is a convicted triple murderer and not just any triple murderer, either. He broke into a neighbor’s house in rural Townsend in 1987, raped and executed the pregnant mother who lived there, then drowned her 7-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son in separate bathtubs. He smirked at the jury that convicted him.

The Superior Court judge who presided over his trial, Robert Barton, now retired, said: ‘’Of the 150 murder cases I heard, he is one of only five that I would personally have no problem pulling the switch on the electric chair myself. He was incorrigible, he would never be rehabbed, and we’d be wasting our money feeding and clothing him.” We’ve also wasted our money doing something else: pushing a lawsuit on his behalf. Which is where Gertner and Palmer & Dodge fit in.

In 2001, LaPlante complained about his safety in prison, and he was placed under extensive lockup. Unhappy with that, he sued state officials in federal court. Among other complaints, he said he wasn’t given unfettered access to the prison law library. He said he was mislabeled as a sex offender. He complained that officials intercepted ‘’sexually explicit” photographs mailed to him. He said a guard stole his shower shoes.

Palmer & Dodge took the case, supposedly pro bono, though please read on. In fact, it didn’t just take the case, it seemed to devote itself to it, assigning a partner, a senior associate, a midlevel associate, and a junior associate—four lawyers in all. Before I go on, spare me the argument from all the Lexus Liberals that even the most heinous criminals have the right to legal representation. They do. But is a convicted murderer really entitled to a battery of downtown lawyers because he wasn’t getting access to the library and his pornographic pictures in the mail?

Palmer & Dodge won the suit, and, lo and behold, its pro bono work wasn’t free any more. Federal law allows a firm to submit a bill when it wins a civil rights case, and it did: $125,000 in all. Judge Gertner ordered the state to pay $99,981 of it. That bears repeating: State taxpayers spent $100,000 on behalf of a convicted killer who slaughtered a pregnant woman and her kids.

‘’We did it as efficiently as we could,” said George Olson, a Palmer & Dodge partner. ‘’When we took the case, we didn’t expect to be compensated.”

Of course not.

Gertner blamed the state Department of Correction for fighting the suit and running up legal costs. She didn’t respond to a message yesterday. Attorney General Thomas F. Reilly was the assistant district attorney who prosecuted LaPlante on murder, and I called him to see if he remembered the case. ‘’I’ll take that case to my grave,” he said, quietly recounting the green OshKosh overalls that the little boy wore when they pulled his body from the tub. He described LaPlante as a constant escape risk who, given the chance, would absolutely kill again.

‘’To be worried about his civil rights?” he added. ‘’The victims had no civil rights. He executed them.” In short, LaPlante gets top-shelf legal representation. Palmer & Dodge gets another hundred grand. And as too often happens, state taxpayers get nothing more than the bill.

Congress Throws Money At Hurricane Relief

imageimageHouse, Senate OK Katrina Tax Relief
WASHINGTON (AP)

Lawmakers on Thursday worked to help solve the practical problems facing those caught in Hurricane Katrina’s path who need quick access to cash, housing and medical care. The House and Senate passed nearly identical bills to let victims tap retirement accounts without penalty and help working poor families and parents retain their tax credits. Senators also voted for rental housing vouchers and aid measures for small business.

The action came ahead of President Bush’s prime-time speech from New Orleans about the comprehensive recovery effort he envisions for the battered Gulf Coast. On Capitol Hill, Republicans and Democrats fought over plans for a special, GOP-majority committee to investigate the government’s sluggish response to the emergency. The House endorsed the idea by a mostly partisan 224-188 vote. Democrats warned they would boycott.

Republicans said it is their responsibility to scrutinize the GOP-run government. “In challenging times, our country expects its leaders to work together and not to engage in petty bickering,” said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn. Democrats contended that Republicans cannot be trusted to run an impartial investigation. “After the flood comes the whitewash,” said Rep. James McGovern, D-Mass. “The job of this Congress is not to run interference for the Bush administration.”

Louisiana lawmakers outlined a reconstruction plan, called “Project Pelican,” for their devastated state. It includes coastal restoration and economic development incentives to brings jobs and people back to New Orleans. Help was coming from the Treasury Department, which ruled that the hurricane qualified as a hardship. That allows victims and their families tap into retirement plans, including 401(k)s, an effort aimed at people with little savings to recover from the storm.

In separate bills passed by the House and the Senate, lawmakers voted to waive penalties typically imposed on early withdrawals from retirement accounts. Lawmakers have to reconcile their differences and send the measure to the president before it can become law. The measures help working poor families and parents retain tax credits and other benefits that can be disrupted when taxpayers, for example, lose their jobs or relocate.

Several House lawmakers reacted favorably by a proposal to two Illinois Democrats, Sen. Barack Obama and Rep. Rahm Emanuel, to immediately advance earned income tax credits and child tax credits to families in the disaster area.

The FBI opened a telephone line (1-800-225-5324) to receive reports of public corruption and government fraud related to Katrina relief efforts and cleanup.

I predict we’re about to see the biggest fiscal boondoggle in American history. Why? Congress is throwing billions of dollars at a Democrat controlled state (Louisiana) that is famed for corruption and who now have a plan ("Project Pelican") that is probably no better than their hurricane evacuation plan which caused most of this mess. Plus, the Democrats in Washington want to pick and choose who oversees this crap. Keep that FBI number handy. We’re gonna need it ....
