Gustav.. Bloodsucking contractor fails to deliver the promised amount of buses!

[Joanne98]

BATON ROUGE, La.- --
Governor Bobby Jindal says a contractor has failed to deliver the promised number of buses for the evacuation of New Orleans. Jindal says the problem will not prevent New Orleans from evacuating those without their own transportation.


With Hurricane Gustav forecast to make landfall early next week, Jindal said the state has found additional sources to provide buses and school buses.


Jindal also said the shortfall isn't critical because the state set up additional contracts for 200 buses and has access to the school buses and 40 buses from New Orleans' transit system.



State officials could not immediately identify the contractor.
