She was also involved in hurricaine Sandy as well. Obama hiree.
Ironic that an earthquake proves the corruption that prevented aid after the hurricane.
Congresscritters and other politicians steal from the people day in and day out. It isn’t just PR.
Get a rope! (make that two ropes!)
I recall at the time that Freepers were all over this. IIRC the power company was some dinky little operation that had never done anything close to what was needed in PR.
