The Falcon Direct
eNewsletter for July is now on line with some interesting developments on
charges of ignoring federal guidelines, misuse of FEMA funds, and
the illegal use of FCC frequencies by at least two Alabama fire department user
groups, and a third apparently attempting a similar plan.
The DHS Inspector
General, the FCC, FEMA, and other agencies are conducting separate investigations. Congressman Spencer Bachus of Alabama has
requested a full report with a response being expected later this month. A complaint has also been filed through
Governor Robert Bentley’s office against the director and top aids of the
Alabama Department of Homeland Security for incompetence, negligence, unwillingness to discuss corrective measures and withholding information.
