The GOP Edgelords are Cashing in Big on Human Rights Abuse.
Re: Alligator Alcatraz ~ No, cruelty is not the point. The goal is making money by any means necessary.
Some Right-Wing Donors whose Companies Helped Build and will Assist in Running the Everglades Facility
are being given Seven-Figure Sums.
GOP donors will get paid for ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ work
Vendors chosen for the project include:
• Lemoine CDR Logistics and
• CDR Health Care, companies led by Carlos Duart, a major Republican donor who along with his businesses have given millions of dollars to political committees for DeSantis, Trump and other GOP candidates, according to federal records.
CDR Companies has been a go-to vendor for the state for years, and it provides engineering, emergency management and health care services across the country. Duart confirmed his companies’ involvement to The AP, but declined to specify the services they’re providing, citing a nondisclosure agreement. Asked if his businesses were picked because of his political support, he said, “we get chosen because we do exceptional work.” A database of state contracts also showed that
• Granny’s Alliance Holdings Inc. • signed a $3.3 million contract to provide meals at the facility.
• IRG Global Emergency Management had inked a $1.1 million deal to provide “flight and operational support" services. Some of the company’s vehicles were seen at the facility, according to images shared with the AP.
