Kenyon's parent company is Service Corporation International, a scandal-ridden, Texas-based company accused in a number of lawsuits for illegally discarding and desecrating corpses.
From Knight-Ridder 9.13.05
"Blasting federal officials for a "lack of urgency and lack of respect," Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco said Tuesday that the state would seize control of the task of recovering the bodies of Hurricane Katrina victims. 'In death, as in life, our people deserve more respect than they have received,' Blanco told reporters before convening a cabinet meeting."
Respect for the dead, guvna? Laughable it wasn't so morose.
Must be a minority company.
As will all negligent, corrupt, incompetent liberals, she is floundering. She is trying to run, but she cannot hide...
When asked if the governor requested a background check on the company, (La DHH representative Bob) Johannessen replied he didn't know.
The RAT party in LA is, has been, and will continue to be, a criminal enterprise.
Correction: Johannessen may not be with La. My mistake...
The state Department of Health and Hospitals says it was unaware of the company's legal troubles and was only doing what the governor had asked.
"We're going to do what the governor's office ask us to do," said DHH representative Bob Johannessen. "They wanted this firm to work here and we facilitated to have that contract signed."
What's with then turning around and bashing FEMA, though? Takes brains, Blanco...
Yep.
I take it that Johannessen works for La.
Figgers.
GOOD FIND!!!!!
Article also states about 400 of these are stored at two locations in Baton Rouge (already been recovered).
Contractor estimates charges during first 30 days of over $600,000
Something's not right with this math.
That guy could give Boss Tweed lessons.
Backhoe, A-G, see my link at post 310. Tony Coehlo's on Service Corp's board.
Thank God she didn't contract with Halliburton!
His bio that the site has:
Mr. Coelho was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1978 to 1989. After leaving Congress, he joined Wertheim Schroder & Company, an investment banking firm in New York and became President and CEO of Wertheim Schroder Financial Services. From October 1995 to September 1997, he served as Chairman and CEO of an education and training technology company that he established and subsequently sold. He served as general chairman of the presidential campaign of former Vice-President Al Gore from April 1999 until June 2000. Since 1997, Mr. Coelho has worked independently as a business and political consultant. Mr. Coelho also served as Chairman of the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities from 1994 to 2001.
Tony Coehlo I can believe.
But, what's up with A. J. Foyt?
He's on the board, too.
I saw that, too. Board member in name only? If I were Foyt, I'd start paying a bit more attention.
Sorry. That was post #10.
