Correction for page 22
The trailer was bought through the General Services Administration (GSA), not the Government Accountability Office (GAO). In fact, GAO investigated problems with FEMA trailers.

- Not the GAO!

Great article, but it slanders the Government Accountability Office, the investigatory and oversight arm of Congress: "Villinski purchased a 30-foot Gulf Stream Cavalier through the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the same agency that sold toxic FEMA trailers as provisional shelter after Katrina."
The GAO in fact exposed fraudulent activity by FEMA and investigated toxic waste left in the wake of Katrina. You are sullying the good name of the GAO! They don't sell trailers, toxic or otherwise!
The organization selling the toxic trailers as scrap is the U.S. General Services Administration, an independent executive branch agency.
