A no-bid secret process awards a massive, unneeded middleman contract to administration cronies.
Crooked Donny's administration keeps the gravy train rolling.
Puerto Rico and Whitefish Defend $300 Million Power Grid Restoration Contract
Puerto Rico and Whitefish Energy Holdings on Tuesday defended their $300 million contract for the small Montana company to repair the U.S. territory’s hurricane-ravaged power grid after the deal was criticized by U.S. lawmakers.
The back-and-forth comes as Puerto Rico struggles to restore power to more than 80% of the island a month after Hurricane Maria made landfall.
Whitefish last month signed a deal with Puerto Rico’s quasi-public power utility, PREPA, to help fix a grid that was nearly destroyed by Maria, the strongest storm to hit Puerto Rico in 90 years.
Whitefish was awarded the deal without a competitive bidding process, and despite the facts that it had just two full-time employees and was established only two years ago. That drew criticism from legislators who suggested cheaper options might have been available.
