20. No one out side of Joplin, save for some of the volunteers, know what kind of mess was going on.

The greed was the worse thing. People were coming in from all over to try to get a chunk of the money. Local contractors were using there influence on the council to keep certain building permits from being granted. FEMA was making many churches stop helping with the clean up. One church group was able to clean 1 house a day, FEMA came in and said they could not keep doing that. It was taking FEMA 1week to take a house down, some sort of paperwork thing most were guessing.

BTW cheek your insurances( yes plural). Many don't cover clean up cost. That iswhy the church was helping those that had insurance but no clean up coverage.Many low income people in Joplin lived in what was called family houses. They were passed down generation to generation so they would always have a home. And is why many were confused because FEMA helps those without insurance, so why close down the effort to help those that they don't.
