Editorial: FEMA's 'trailergate' - Milford, MA - The Milford Daily News

Editorial: FEMA's 'trailergate' - Milford, MA - The Milford Daily News: "Amid the hurricane, FEMA snapped up some 145,000 trailers - through no-bid contracts, no less, at an average cost of $18,600 - but couldn't use them all. The government unloaded trailers at auction, offered them to state and local governments and sold hundreds to hurricane victims, reportedly for about 40 cents on the dollar.

But because of mounting complaints that the trailers contain unsafe levels of formaldehyde - a noxious health hazard - FEMA is now offering to buy them back."
