Red Cross Blunder
Last week in Lincoln County, MS the Red Cross was giving away money to anyone who would get in line. The people of Lincoln County aren't in that great of a need. The storm knocked out the electricity around here and that was about it.
We do have some senior citizens that need assistance because they don't have the money to get trees yanked out of their yards. However, most everyone in Lincoln county still have a job.
As I understand it, there are NO forms to fill out. You simply show an ID and get money. This is pathetic. I feel sorry for anyone who donated to the Red Cross.
To give you an example of how rampant this abuse is, let me tell you what I heard through the local grape-vine. A friend metions that someone "just came back from their Vegas vacation" and collected about $1000 from the Red Cross. There you have it -- someone from Lincoln County *just* came back from vegas and got a $1000 check from the Red Cross.
