From philly.com:
The Christie administration is cutting its ties with a second contractor involved with managing a Sandy rebuilding program that has been the target of blistering criticism by stymied homeowners.
Word of the impending termination of the $20 million URS Corp. contract, first reported Thursday night by WNYC public radio, came two days after dozens of distraught homeowners described inexplicable delays and a stalled rebuilding process - even after being approved for grants.
...
It has been beset by controversy, including the quiet firing of another contractor paid to set up the entire program, a contract worth $68 million. That company, Hammerman & Gainer Inc., was terminated last month and paid a $10 million settlement in addition to work completed.

A little googling shows that the C.E.O. of URS Corp. is one Martin M. Koffel, a one-time trustee of the American Enterprise Institute, a super right-wing think tank. Some of the luminaries affiliated with AEI include John Bolton, Newt Gingrich, Lynne Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz.
Blech. Good riddance to shady contractors!
