The really amazing thing is that these contracts were written up in July '05 -- long before the first storms hit, so there's no reason contractors should be getting $1.75 a square foot for putting tarps on roofs.

BTW, that was about the time Mike Brown was informed that FEMAs computer system was inadequate to support fast response to a major crisis.
