Investigate the Whitefish Energy contract!
Immediately hold public hearings to examine why Whitefish Energy, a two-person company at the time Hurricane Maria struck, was chosen for a $300 million project to rebuild the Puero Rican power grid, with troubling contract clauses preventing oversight and audit. We urge you to publicly demand answers so American taxpayers can get the transparency they deserve from their government.
Why is this important?
Congress must fully investigate and hold public hearings on the massive no-bid contract awarded to the two-employee Montana company Whitefish Energy to rebuild the Puerto Rican power grid devastated by Hurricane Maria. Whitefish Energy is located in Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's hometown. The contract also contains troubling provisions that prevent claims against Whitefish for delays AND prevents government entities from "the right to audit or review the cost and profit elements" of the contract. We deserve the answers to why this massive contract was awarded to this tiny company with these strange and troubling clauses.
