Three days after Hurricane Katrina hit, AshBritt hired the former head of the Army Corps of Engineers, Mike Parker, specifically to help it maximize its contracts for Katrina cleanup. Among the company’s other lobbyists were a former Louisiana legislator, and Barbour, Griffith & Rogers, a lobbying firm co-founded by former chairman of the Republican National Committee and current Mississippi governor, Haley Barbour. By mid-September, AshBritt had $500 million in debris-removal contracts, plus its guaranteed $56 million contingency fee from FEMA under a preexisting retainer for natural disaster recovery. (12) AshBritt, a Florida-based firm, has close ties with Florida governor and presidential brother Jeb Bush, and lobbied hard for a state contract in Florida in 2004. Records show that AshBritt’s CEO is a major donor to state and federal GOP candidates. (13) Local debris-removal firms in Mississippi have said AshBritt’s cozy relationship with Washington essentially precluded competition for Katrina contracts. |
