Inquiry

Dec 30th, 2005 at 9:17 am by Susie

The Senate Finance Committee began an inquiry into the American Red Cross yesterday, seeking a broad range of information about its governance, its handling of money donated for disaster relief and its compensation policies.

Congressional scrutiny of the organization started shortly after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, as widespread criticism of the Red Cross response to the disaster mounted. The abrupt announcement this month that Marsha J. Evans, the group’s president and chief executive, would step down at the end of the year intensified interest on Capitol Hill in revising the organization’s charter.

I can’t say I have on opinion on the performance of the Red Cross in the Katrina recovery. But I suspect that this investigation has more to do with shifting the public’s attention away from the failures of the host of government agencies that failed miserably.

As before, they still will be investigating this crap when we are all dead and buried.

For many years the ARC has been an extension of the Republican party, hasn’t it?
