No Red Tape? Non-Union FEMA Crews, Water and Other Supplies Sit Idle Thanks To Unions & Red Tape

'It’s been two weeks since Hurricane Sandy killed 113 people, wiped out portions of towns, and knocked out power to millions. It has also been two weeks since Barack Obama pledged, “No bureaucracy. No red tape.”

However, according to multiple public and private sources, unions and union-related red tape are causing workers from out of state to be turned back, as well as workers contracted by FEMA, as well as tons of supplies, already in New York and New Jersey to sit idle—at a cost of millions to taxpayers."

Wow. Hundreds of people are right there, ready to work, loads of supplies are there, including generators, water and blankets, yet people are still sitting in the dark and boiling water - if they even still have a home to sit in.

"So much for the “no red tape, no bureaucracy” that was promised nearly two weeks ago."

Quiet down. The storm is over. Nobody cares anymore. Obama made his appearance and saved everybody.
