Hurricane Katrina Funds Stolen
Yet another scandle has leaked out of the US government in the Hurricane Katrina aftermath. It seems up to $1.4 billion Katrina relief funds were spent on bogus projects. Worse still is that up to, if not more than, 750 debit cards worth $1.5 million may not have even gone to Katrina victims, according to auditors.
Among the items purchased with the cards:
- An all-inclusive, one-week Caribbean vacation in the Punta Cana resort in the Dominican Republic.
- Five season tickets to New Orleans Saints professional football games.
- Adult erotica products in Houston and “Girls Gone Wild” videos in Santa Monica, Calif.
- Dom Perignon champagne and other alcoholic beverages in San Antonio.
