Trucks full of ice (at taxpayer expense) rerouted and rerouted eventually to Portland...Maine which is always in dire need of ice. Goodness gracious. Cost to the government [taxpayers] $9/bag. Just throw it on the debt and let our grandchildren pay for it [with interest]. I understand that some was rerouted to storage facilities in Mass. Britians send over MREs which (who knows today) may be burned by the FDA as, what, tainted with BSE? They sent the donations from Germany back to Germany. I suppose that way they can say the Germans didn't send anything. jttmab
