We discussed this here ages ago. Today it comes out in our local paper. This is how the media works. Last week this paper told us of the over 3000 homeless from the storms...with the number growing by over 100 a day..

Yes, the national media is not telling people that we getting over 100 a day more homeless in Florida because

Let's see, what was the name of the Homeland Security company given the contract for roofs in Florida? Versar, or something like that. Hmmm...mmm.

This week, they finally tell this story. It was all over the internet ages ago.

FORT LAUDERDALE --SNIP.." Nearly $28 million in hurricane aid following Hurricane Frances has bought new furniture, wardrobes and appliances for thousands of residents of Miami-Dade County, which was barely brushed by the storm.

Of the four hurricanes that hit Florida in rapid succession late this summer, Frances and Jeanne blew the closest to Miami-Dade, toppling a few trees but causing only isolated power outages.

But Miami-Dade County residents claimed Frances destroyed 5,260 television sets and 1,440 air conditioners, and disaster relief paid for lawn mowers, vacuum cleaners, space heaters and cars, according to records from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

FEMA has declined to disclose what the claims were for or identify aid recipients, but the South Florida SunSentinel obtained claims records from the government that show the type of damage and assistance provided in Miami-Dade, by ZIP code, through Oct. 18.

The government agency blamed damage on "ice/snow" in six instances and also paid $4,500 for one resident's funeral, even though the county medical examiner recorded no storm-related deaths."END SNIP
