Whitefish Energy

This thing stinks like three day old fish. Will it take down this asshole Zinke? If there's any justice, it will. Sadly, with the current DOJ head, politics rules, not justice.

Much of the controversy that has surrounded the contract has focused on the high rates Whitefish is charging for labor. The contract shows those labor rates are pricey indeed: $240 an hour for a general foreman and $227 for a lineman. The per diems are also expensive: almost $80 a day for meals, and $332 a day for lodging. Employee flights are billed at $1,000 each way.

For subcontractors, the bulk of Whitefish's workforce, the prices go even higher. A general foreman costs $336 an hour and a lineman, $319.

We know PR is bankrupt and so is PREPA, their electric utility.
Does it then justify these exorbitant rates like those PayDay loans?

The GOP is out to fleece the American citizen out of everything they can. It would be interesting to see the payola list, I'm sure there are a few interesting ones. :rolleyes:

I simply cannot believe that a 2 year old company with just two employees was picked to repair and rebuild the electricity grid in Puerto Rico, 75% of which is out or destroyed. The exorbitant fees being paid for the work makes it very fishy indeed.

Neither the WH or Zinke was involved? I would bet good money on this. Any takers? :)
