Two stories this morning that bookend contracting scandals we've been following over the past few months. First, wrapping up an extensive bribery scandal, the Washington Post reports former Defense contractor Brent Wilkes, who was convicted in November of 13 felony crimes including bribery, conspiracy and fraud for giving gifts to former representative Randy 'Duke' Cunningham (R-CA), was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison. And second, opening up what might be another front in the post-Katrina contracting scandals, the Associated Press reports the Federal Emergency Management Agency "misspent millions of dollars it received from selling used travel trailers" using the funds for "tree-removal services, agency decals and banners and global positioning systems" instead of returning the funds to the U.S.. Treasury, as required by law. The news article is based on a Homeland Security Inspector General's report to be released this Friday.
