This is very interesting, [former FEMA Director] Brown, apparently fired for incompetence and slow response to Katrina, is staying on FEMA's payroll for one more month (AP) at his $148,000 annual salary. Supposedly to advise the agency on his experience with Katrina.
Rep. Gene Taylor, D-Mississippi., whose coastal district was among the hardest hit by Katrina, said the contract extension is an insult to taxpayers, particularly those Gulf Coast residents "whose lives were in danger in the aftermath of that storm because of Mike Brown's incompetence."
"I've got tens of thousands of people living in two-man igloo tents tonight, and less than a quarter of the people who have asked for FEMA travel trailers have gotten them," Taylor said. "And at the same time they can find $140,000 a year to pay this incompetent son of a gun; that's ridiculous."
