Who ever said bureaucracies weren't the best way to serve the economic interests of society?
ME!
Here's another reason why (via fark, of course):
Headline: FEMA Sends Trucks Full Of Ice For Katrina Victims To Maine
City officials say they have no idea why the trucks are here, only that the city has been asked to help out with traffic problems. But the truck drivers NEWSCENTER spoke to said they went all the way down to the gulf coast with the ice -- stayed for a few days -- and then were told by FEMA they needed to drive to Maine to store it.
The truck drivers, who are from all over the country, tell us they were subcontracted by FEMA.
They started arriving over the weekend, and city spokesperson Peter Dewitt says as many as 200 trucks could come to the city by the end of the week.... No one NEWSCENTER talked to has any idea when, or even if the ice will go back to the gulf coast.
