Representive Marchand Sells Out

We supported Rep. Charmaigne Marchand's protest against Governor Blanco and her Road Home program. ICF International has collected over $80 million from the state to administer a program which has passed out $4 million in aid. There are trained state employees who could have handled the program at a fraction of the cost. Rep. Marchand said she was not going to leave her tent on the capital grounds until the program was fixed.

ICF still has the contract and is raking in millions, the aid is still not getting to the citizens of Louisiana, and Governor Blanco is still the incompetent governor of the state. Ms. Marchand has met privately with Governor Blanco and ICF and pulled up her stakes.

We don't know what Governor Blanco or ICF promised you Ms. Marchand, but we are very disappointed in you.
