Yesterday we saw how Whitefish dealt with San Juan's (female) mayor. They ended up having to apologize, but I don't think that's going to save their bacon. I wonder why they didn't say they were just following The Most Notable Loser's lead. Probably because somebody smarter than them and The Most Notable Loser stepped in.
At any rate, here's a little tidbit that Charlie Pierce noticed in the dust-up.
I do like some appropriate schadenfreude. Perhaps that's why Whitefish tried to apologize.The Washington Post has more.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) pledged to examine the grid-rebuilding efforts at an upcoming hearing of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, which she chairs.[...]
Murkowski's involvement here is particularly piquant since you may recall that, immediately after she voted to help torpedo the original TrumpCare plan, Zinke and the Interior Department threatened her and her state in much the same fashion that their cronies threatened the mayor of San Juan. One does not threaten U.S. Senators in this way without catching one in the teeth in return. Zinke is a jumped-up rural congresscritter. Perhaps he's a little new at this game.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
UPDATE:
So, apparently, this two-man show can take the $300 million dollars awarded them by their pal Zinke and hire laborers for any sum, paltry as they can, and purchase any materials, cheap and shoddy as they can, and pocket the rest. Nice.
And then there's this:
Gee, I wonder why Mayor Cruz objected to this company?
