Puerto Rico Cancels Whitefish Energy Contract to Rebuild Power Lines

The move came following concerns about how the small Montana company won a contract for up to $300 million to rebuild part of the island’s hurricane-ravaged electrical grid.

👏 Puerto Rico for giving the finger to Ryan Zinke, Trump, #RepublicanSWAMP AND #TrumpSWAMP

How does Andy Techmanskis’ 2 year company, Whitefish Energy, with TWO full-time employees qualify and get a lucrative FEDERAL contract?

Your Whitefish, Montana neighbor is Ryan Zinke, the Interior Secretary
You hire Ryan Zinke’s son
The above could be a coincidence since the population of Whitefish is only 6,357 people (2010 census)
No one vetted their bid and contract

FACT: “Whitefish is primarily financed by HBC Investments, a firm tied to Joe Colonnetta, a prominent GOP and Trump donor.”, LittleSis

Gov. Ricardo A. Rosselló announced on Sunday that he had asked the power authority’s board — which he appoints — to cancel the contract with Whitefish Energy Holdings, two days after FEMA issued a strongly worded statement criticizing the deal. FEMA said it had “significant concerns” and warned that it might refuse to cover the costs of the contract if it was found to be improper.

The House Committee on Natural Resources, which oversees Puerto Rican affairs, sent a letter on Thursday to the power authority demanding all records connected to the contract.
That same day, the inspector general’s office at the Department of Homeland Security said it was investigating.
Mr. Rosselló also ordered an audit of the contract,
and the board that Congress created to oversee Puerto Rico’s financial affairs asked a federal court to appoint a new manager to supervise the utility.
