Ex-FEMA worker charged in $721K in Katrina fraud…that’s more than ex-congressman (democrat-La.) William ‘Cold-Cash’ Jefferson had in his freezer!

Here’s a story that’s repeated over, and over, and over in this monstrously bloated federal government. The more agencies, the more chance for corruption.
