Post: FEMA Plans to Reimburse Faith Groups
The Washington Post reports ...After weeks of prodding by Republican lawmakers and the American Red Cross, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said yesterday that it will use taxpayer money to reimburse churches and other religious organizations that have opened their doors to provide shelter, food and supplies to survivors of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.They should count this as two times - the first and the last. Since when are religious organizations supposed to be conduits for government money?FEMA officials said it would mark the first time that the government has made large-scale payments to religious groups for helping to cope with a domestic natural disaster.
Thanks to DriveDemocracy.org for passing this along.
