I have a neighbor who works within the state and still stays in a 5 star hotel 5 nights a week. I commute further then he does but hes put up in a 5 star hotel? Said employee doesn't check out of the hotel. The gov still foots the bill for the weekends. Why is that. This employee is also getting his reward points for said hotel the gov is paying for and gets to take his family on free trips for earning points on the gov dime. Why don't these free nights go back to the gov? Said employee and buddy's drive luxury rental cars, which again gov is footing the bill, they drive said cars home on the weekends and drive their families around on the gov dime. We are losing billions of dollars paying for hotel rooms for people who live close to the site. We are losing billions of dollars on room nights the employees are not using. We are losing billions of dollars on lux rental cars so that the employees can drive their families around on the weekends. We are then rewarding them with free night hotel stays when the gov should get that discount not the employee..... THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE IN DEBT.

My complaint is on my neighbors. I do not know their names, they are not very friendly, especially because they are Cape Verdean Immigrants and don't often speak English. There address is 77 Hollis Street, Brockton, MA 02302-1218. It is a single family house. When this area of Massachusetts was flooded in the spring of 2010, it was deemed a Disaster, that made people eligible for FEMA Relief. My neighbors learned of that relief apparently, and filed for aid because their basement was flooded. While that is true, it was flooded not so much by the storm, but by the fact that they never checked the battery in their sump pump as the previous owner's explained to them when they bought the house 4 years ago! In fact, that neighbor, Fatima Soones, now living in Georgia was here for a visit in the Summer of 2009 (long before the spring storms of 2010!) and asked the new owner if she could come into the house and show her son his old room. He let her in and even took her to the basement. She was shocked to see that the basement walls were ruined half-way up the walls. When she asked what happened, the owner said the sump pump broke. She reminded him that they had told them to check the batteries. While Fatima lived there the basement never flooded, because the sump pump was in good working order. And during the 5-7 years she lived there, in fact she had that part of the house built, the basement never flooded! The damage done to that basement done was long before that family notified FEMA! Fatima Soones address is 5520 Mountain View Pass, Stone Mountain, Georgia 30087. I do not have her phone number, but you can call me at 508-588-6566, if you need it and I can get it from her sister who still lives in Brockton. I called in my first complaint when the FEMA volunteers arrived to remove all the damaged walls, etc. Now, this week, the the Free wall board was delivered and the volunteers from a Church in Pennsylvania are installing it for free! Of course, none of this is really free, the money comes from my taxes! These neighbors stopped using their washing machine years ago, if they ever had one. I have seen them on weekends driving bags and bags of laundry to the laundry mat (long before the storm). If FEMA gives them a new washing machine, I will be extremely upset! These people are frauds, cheats and liars. What makes this even more outrageous is that the neaighbor on the other side of my house is still waiting for her FEMA check for the damage done by the water in her basement. She is a divorced mother of 4, two of her sons and one of her daughters all served in Irag! She is way more deserving of your aid than the frauds on the other side of me. And as for my house, yes, I got a little water in my basement, but I have a working pump and thus, no damage! I was under the impression that FEMA had improved greatly after Hurricane Andrew. If this nonsense next door is not fully investigated and halted (or at least make them pay for it), I plan on going to the newspapers plus tell all my friends and customers to stop donating to relief efforts because FEMA is allowing fraud to go unpunished, not only as a cost to taxpayers, but a bigger affront to people who really need the aid!

She is very angry that her father left her mother to be with me. I did not know at the time that her father was still with her mother while we were living together. I found out later on that his wife was not dead like he had stated to me. We were together still when she passed away in January of 2006 -2008, not sure what year. And as of today, her father and I are still together 2010. A Girl named Christie commented that I committed fraud with FEMA when I did not.

A couple years ageo we had a flood and the creek next my house caused severe damage to the drainage system. The concrete underneath the road in front of my house washed away, along with the creek bed, causing a sewer line to break and almost causing a gas main to break. I have attempted numerous times to get the City of Sherwood to make repairs to the creek. I was told 2 years ago the city received FEMA money to make the necessary repairs, but the city has yet to do anything. The city has spent several hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax payer money on a golf course and have not spent a dime on the drainage system. They currentyl have a couple large rocks holding up the sewer water main and the creek bed has eroded even more, causing damange to the neighboring yards. And in ht mean time, they still haven't repared the drainage. If FEMA has given the City of Sherwood any funds, they should reconsider and audity the city's books because they money has not been spent on the intended use. I live in Sherwood, Arkanasas.

Rex Brown who resides at 235 Lower Patch Road, Gallagher WV applied for fema assistance for " damage" on his home caused by rain storms and high water. He recieved a check recently and he immediately started adding additions to his home and converting his garage into a home. He claimed that the high water wasshed soil from under his home. Although the water did come under his home, it was not the situation he claimed it was. I spent many nights unable to sleep because Mr. Brown was pumping water under his home so he would not need to do it by hand and shovel. He pumped water from the stream and it would wash under his home, and at times he would let this pump run all night. If the building of additions to his home is what his grant was for, then I would like to talk to someone from fema so I can do the same and I would like to put a swimming pool in my yard.

I thought this money was to be used to repair damages caused by the high water and storms we had recently. These people riecieved a truck from Lowes home improvement and immediately started making additions to there house. I may be wrong about what the fema grants are suppost to be used for, but I don't think this is the purpose for fema grants. They said the high water washed out from under their house and I know for a fact that they used a pump that they put into the creek to wash out under their house so they could build a basement. They are using the money to build a basement. They are also using the money to build a room on the back of their house. Their was no room there before and there was nothing damaged there. IF this is what the fema money is meant to be used for, then send someone to see me because I would like to put some additions to my home and put a pool in the back yard.

I was told that it is to replace fencing that was destroyed in the 07 wildfires. I know for a fact they are putting up fences where there were never fences. Right now as I type this they are getting ready to fence land that has never had a fenced destroyed in any fire. The man found out last week he owned the property and was told they would fence it for him. Not only is federal aid money being wasted on fence it is also paying salaries for the people doing the work. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against fencing, I have a huge problem with money that is to be used for disaster relief being misused. My point is I feel there is reason this should be at least looked at. I am wondering why FEMA money is being used to fence the LaJolla Indian Reservation in Pauma Valley CA.?
