Construction Companies Prey On Post-Katrina Cleanup Crews

Brian Beutler, Media Consortium, reports: "After Hurricane Katrina pummeled the Gulf Coast in late August 2005, tens of billions of dollars in federal and private contracts, the largest of which went to companies like Bechtel, Halliburton, and its then-subsidiary Kellogg, Brown, and Root, were dispatched to New Orleans. The alleged goal was to fund a cleanup effort President Bush said would require 'a sustained federal commitment to our fellow citizens.' That, of course, never came to pass."
