Mayor That Tried To Blame Trump For Hurricane Now Being Investigated For Corruption
Seems like she may have hashtag resisted doling out the aid to her citizens in order to own the Drumpf. Remember the photos of it all just sitting at the docks?
Quote:Cruz may be the hypocritical one here. New reports suggest that corruption in San Juan prevented critical supplies from reaching Hurricane Maria victims. The FBI is investigating suppliers and Cruz's administration.
According to a local news report from El Vocero de Puerto Rico, the FBI is investigating several suppliers for alleged corruption in San Juan.
It says the investigation was launched after former procurement director Yadira Molina filed a lawsuit claiming she faced punishment for reporting illegal activities to the local comptroller. The investigation has since grown to include several contractors.
“On February 21, Molina sued the city council after reporting alleged acts of corruption in the shopping division in the town hall under the administration of Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz Soto,” the report says.
The complaint states that Molina was blocked from her right “to report wrongdoing in her capacity as a private citizen, not as a public employee.” It says she was retaliated against for reporting an allegedly rigged system and was fired for attempting to report corruption, and includes other additional claims.

RE: Mayor That Tried To Blame Trump For Hurricane Being Investigated For Corruption
Disaster response is almost totally a state and local government function in our current setup. If there were screwups, they were on her.
You may argue that there should be a federal responder agency. That argument has merit. I have proposed assigning it to the National Guard. But right now there isn’t one.
