I'm sure everyone knows whose family owns a major portion of Bechtel....could it be a certain senator from California?
Halliburton has the contract to rebuild and upgrade the military bases on the Gulf Coast.
Richard Blum, husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein of Blum Capital Partners.
Bechtel Group Inc., one of the lead contractors in the reconstruction of Iraq gets $600,000,000.00 and $1.03 billion contracts for Iraq work. Diane Feinstein's husband, Richard Blum owns 24% of the company that got the contract.
Perini Corp, with contracts worth up to $525 million in Iraq and Afghanistan, is owned by a group of investors that includes Richard Blum, husband of Sen. Diane Feinstein, California Democrat and a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
The San Francisco based engineering firm URS Corp. received its second major Army contract since February. All told the company could make $3.7 billion over the next eight years.
URS is owned in part by Richard Blum the husband of California Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Yes, and as I said on another thread:
For the first time, in a long time, I think the Leftists are winning the PR war. Conservatives are discouraged, and the Dems are sneaking stuff past us.
All these arguments are a distraction from what's really going on. The chair of the Louisiana state Dem party (Shaw group) has been awarded a contract to be THE contract manager of all subsequent contracts, and everyone is too busy arguing over a crooked cop on a bridge to see that the taxpayers of the USA are being taken for a ride.
The chair of the Louisiana State Democrats will control the awarding of all FEMA contracts in all three states!
It's big, and they used the Brown distraction and the blame distraction to keep us looking the other way.
No Blum..the poor city of NO is now a floating "crock of s." thanks to you and your kind. Oh..yes, it is only fitting that you increase your wallet on the backs of those you helped to keep poor and devastate.
And they call Republicans capitalists...sheesh.
I surely do hope they realize they are going to be audited like crazy over this job. I expect they are going to be monitored much more closely then they expect.
ALL of those companies are going to be audited up the ying yang. This is going to be one of the most carefully watched jobs in the history of this country.
Great find,,I am stunned!
"Bechtel National Inc., a unit of San Francisco-based Bechtel Corp., has also been selected by FEMA to provide short-term housing for people displaced by the hurricane. Bush named Bechtel's CEO to his Export Council and put the former CEO of Bechtel Energy in charge of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation."
Could be wrong, but I seem to recall that they were also awarded at least one contract in Iraq early on. Of course, not word one about that and there will probably not be anything out there about this as the company is owned by Sen. Feinstein's (D-CA)VERY wealthy husband. Every time the D's bring up Halliburton, the Pubbies should mention this and perhaps Clay Shaw's contract as well. They may be the best company for the work, but, as I understand it, so is Halliburton (think they are in a bit of a 'niche' field).
Feds ought to hire that Kyle auditor from La who was driving everyone nuts with his corruption finds. He was one who was involved everywhere in the state finding corruption.
He found so much I was surprised somebody didn't knock him off. He knows where all the bodies are buried. All of them.
Ping to see about Shaw Group and Bectel!
Ping to see about Shaw Group and Bectel!
Canada was a dead end. Shaw Grp LTD not INC. Sorry
While on that other thread this one busted loose. Maybe the Dims have their own Haliburton! LOL
Your plea wasn't directed towards me as I thought.
Your plea is to the thousands of rat bastards, thieves and rapists shipped from NOLA to Houston, et al.
Methinks Texas may regret this before long.
Great idea! He should be made Chief Auditor for the project.
BTTT.
