FEMA breaks promise on Katrina contracts Agency will extend, not rebid, deals with politically connected firms
WASHINGTON - FEMA has broken its promise to reopen four multimillion-dollar no-bid contracts for [url "http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11995762/#"]Hurricane Katrina[/url] work, including three that federal auditors say wasted significant amounts of money.
A review by the Government Accountability Office of 13 major contracts said last week the government had wasted millions of dollars, due mostly to poor planning by FEMA. Among the 13 were three of the four no-bid contracts for temporary housing, worth up to $500 million each, that went to three major firms with extensive government ties.
