What a tragedy for Bechtel and other Bushie supporters, they have to pay prevailing wage to the very people who were left homeless and unemployed by the Bushie’s incompetence and lack of foresight in fixing the levees BEFORE the storm. Especially since the contracts they awarded were no bid and no oversight, the ability to screw employees doing the work was just a Bushie Bonus. Shameful.
Not a defeat for Bushies, but a victory of for the people of the Gulf Coast.
They won! Rep. George Miller (D-CA) played a pivotal role in organizing
cosponsors for a bill to overturn the president's Gulf Coast Wage Cut. Later, he
found a way to force a vote on the legislation. Unwilling to face that prospect,
today the White House caved in and revoked the wage cut on their own.
