Debbie Stabenow managed to get some of that money for “storm damage” on the great lakes.

I remember checking and seeing that there weren’t even any restrictions on crossing the Mackinaw bridge on that day.

“Only $40 million?”

I share your scepticism.

I live in the Katrina zone. Douchebags milked it for years

“a huge improvement over the percentage of FEMA aid deemed questionable after Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita”

Well THERE is the key phrase! This is GOOD news! Taxpayers were still robbed blind and nothing has been learned from previous FEMA snafu’s but no worries, it’s all good! Is the glass half empty or half full? Come ON people! See the lib spin and par-TAY!

The article says “aid provided by FEMA to Hurricane Sandy.” Did someone change their name to “Hurricane Sandy” and get $40 million by fraud?

When I was trying to close on the farm I now have, the dopey Flood Cert people forced me to get flood insurance just to close even though none of the structures were in or even close to the boundary of the 100 year flood plane.

I had to pay a surveyor to prove otherwise, and it was so nice getting that money back. Screw FEMA.

State workers in CT turned Sandy aid into a gravy train. And when they got caught governor Dannel Malloy gave them a slap on the wrist and refused to name them.
