FEMA puts a price tag on the truth - $209,099

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." -- John 8:32

Provided, of course, you have the cash.

In this case, $209,099 -- the price that FEMA recently attached to its willingness to comply with a Katrina-related Freedom of Information Act request from The Advocate, the newspaper in Baton Rouge, La.

The newspaper was looking into maintenance and inspection contracts awarded by FEMA after the 2005 hurricanes.

These contractors were in charge of minor repairs and monthly inspections of travel trailers and mobile homes occupied by evacuees from hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
