Review faults awarding flood contracts and missing boy found
A review of 24.6 million in emergency flood contracts finds haphazard awarding and high costs. In Des Moines portable toilets ran 600 monthly, while closer vendors offered far less. An Illinois Corps bought sandbags at 38 cents each, more than double some prices. In Los Angeles a 4 year old boy wandered 40 hours before being found and reunited with his mother. A Maryland charter boat sank in Chesapeake Bay with 23 aboard, at least two dead.
