The corruption in Louisiana continues, but now they're doing it with FEMA dollars. Still it is impressive to see that the Shaw Group is the "Jack of all Trades" for building, repairing, pumping and protecting life.
Shaw's stock had dropped by 70% in March 2004, but thanks to their friends in high places, the company will continue to "thrive".
On another note, considering the number of rides Governor Blanco's husband 'Coach' takes in Shaw Group's airplanes, it is safe to say he is the most powerful man in Louisiana. (Bob Odom would not agree.)

Anyone have any idea as to whether this Shaw Group is somehow connected/related to Clay Shaw, the man put on trial for conspiracy to murder President Kennedy?
Just thought it was too convenient --- What with "Shaw" and "New Orleans" and "Louisiana" and such. Just something to think about.

Shaw is presently providing temporary roofing and repairs under its existing "Blue Roof" contract.Tarps 'R' Us!

Stock dropped 70%??????? Uhmmm...this does not bode well.....and many of their employees have been personally affected by the hurricane.
Should be a crack team on the job.
To: TaxRelief
Plus....a contract was awarded to
Kellogg Brown and Root.(a subsidiary of Halliburton)
Also an Allbaugh client.
Also...
Bechtel National Inc., a unit of San Francisco-based Bechtel Corp., has also been selected by FEMA to provide short-term housing for people displaced by the hurricane. Bush named Bechtel's CEO to his Export Council and put the former CEO of Bechtel Energy in charge of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation.
Quit pointing those fingers....3 are pointing back at ya.

Contract awarding has barely begun.And these guys (Blanco's buddies) will control the awarding of every contract to come.
To: TaxRelief
How can this be? The msm has already assured us that only GWB's cronies will be awarded rebuilding contracts. There must be some mistake.

They will offer all types of comforts to the "displaced" to get them back from Texas and from wherever they've scattered.

They've escaped the Democrat Wonderland of New Orleans. They won't be back.
