Other than the company principal being the wife of the nephew of Haley Barbour, what does this have to do with the Governor of MS? Certainly, how does it detract from the absolutely stellar way that he handled the disaster that hit this state?
And other than the veiled allegations of a FIRED former employee that the FBI was looking for “something”, what wrongdoing can be attributed to the company?
The horribly left-leaning Hattisburg American attempts to paint the company and its owner in a bad light by implying that there was something wrong with a no-bid contract for showers or because she used her maiden name in applications. None of it is substantiated by anything even imitating fact. No-bid contracts were very commonplace in the days and weeks following Katrina. A company raised its hand when somebody mentioned needing laundry and shower facilities — they got the contract. The owner used her maiden name in representing her business so as to avoid any allegations of nepotism, cronyism, or other impropriety. For that effort, she is accused of impropriety. Go figure?
You fell for their trap and allowed yourself to be fooled into believing their ‘nothing there’ name-association tripe as an indictment of the Governor. Don’t get sucked into believing what reads like a hit-piece.
Excellent post, NerdDad!
You made many, many good points.
Thank you!
I can see nothing there that indicates Gov. Barbour was involved, let along doing anything illegal.
