Former FEMA Chief Brown Off Payroll

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051110/ap_on_go_ot/katrina_brown

Former FEMA chief Michael Brown is no longer on the agency's payroll, the
Homeland Security Department said Wednesday, ending nearly two months of compensation after he resigned under fire.

-snip-

Initially, Brown was permitted to continue collecting his $148,000 annual salary for 30 days after he resigned. Last month, Homeland Security Secretary
Michael Chertoff said he extended Brown's contract for an additional 30 days, until mid-November, to help the agency complete its review of the response to Katrina.

But Brown ended his contract early, said Knocke, responding to an inquiry about House Democratic demands to remove Brown from the payroll.

In a letter to
President Bush on Wednesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland said Brown's contract was "inexplicable and a gross waste of taxpayer dollars."

where will he pop up next?
