A Montana based energy company is under fire for getting a no bid contract to handle the 4 million residents of the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. |
Whitefish Energy is based in Montana. The company got a no bid contract to fix the U.S. commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The company is under fire for being inadequate to the 4 million residents of the territory.
Department of Interior Serectary Ryan Zinke is under fire for quid pro quo.
Zinke, a former Republican lawmaker from the state personally knows the CEO of the company.
Zinke, The White House and even Whitefish have no comment to how this deal transpired.
The company is tiny. We don't know how many employees work for the company but rest assured it's working to have power on by late December.
Uh, it's October.
This company got $300 million in a no bid and it's raising red flags in Puerto Rico and the Congress is demanding answers.
The mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Carmen Yulin Cruz concern that Trump is writing the territory off. |
How many weeks has it been since Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands?
Five weeks and counting. Over 80% of the island has no power.
Governor Ricardo Rossello and San Juan's mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz denounced Whitefish for being inept.
The mayor was on social media critical of the slow response to getting power on. The Whitefish executives responded to her on social media in such a disrespectful fashion. It later apologized.
This is a comparison per employee cost between the local PREPA and Whitefish. You do not need to know Spanish to compare the bottom line. pic.twitter.com/jXTRJVnZdS— Carmen Yulín Cruz (@CarmenYulinCruz) October 25, 2017
Whitefish’s contract with PREPA does not have the number of the Resolution required by PREPA’s Board to approve said contract. Hum... pic.twitter.com/wx1wevuY3G— Carmen Yulín Cruz (@CarmenYulinCruz) October 28, 2017
Payment for Whitefish “shall not exceed Net 10 Days from submission of invoice by contractor to PREPA.” Cashflow issues? @DavidBegnaud pic.twitter.com/wdsL3mBbMv— Carmen Yulín Cruz (@CarmenYulinCruz) October 28, 2017
Who is really behind the PREPA/Whitefish contract? That is the question. @DavidBegnaud— Carmen Yulín Cruz (@CarmenYulinCruz) October 28, 2017
Art. 68 Whitefish contract in PR states that “PREPA represents and warrants that FEMA has reviewed and approved of this Contract”. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/hE33Seo5oB— Carmen Yulín Cruz (@CarmenYulinCruz) October 28, 2017
The Head of PREPA must provide proof to dispute FEMA’s claim it did not approved Whitefish contract. Otherwise contract is void and null.— Carmen Yulín Cruz (@CarmenYulinCruz) October 28, 2017
If @WhitefishEnergy feels that asking for transparency is ”misplaced”, what are they afraid we will find.— Carmen Yulín Cruz (@CarmenYulinCruz) October 25, 2017
You would think I am the only one in the world that has commented on this. What is it about women having an opinion that irritates some? pic.twitter.com/XxGNLomjQy— Carmen Yulín Cruz (@CarmenYulinCruz) October 25, 2017
We’ve got 44 linemen rebuilding power lines in your city & 40 more men just arrived. Do you want us to send them back or keep working?— Whitefish Energy (@WhitefishEnergy) October 25, 2017
