Auditors say FEMA should seek $10.5 million refund from Baldwin County - al.com: "BAY MINETTE — A final report by U.S. government auditors asks the Federal Emergency Management Agency to recover $10.5 million in hurricane debris cleanup payments from Baldwin County.

Those were viewed as fighting words by county commissioners meeting on Tuesday.

'It infuriates me that ... we are being given a black eye,' said Commissioner Wayne Gruenloh. 'We've done everything properly and don't deserve this type of treatment.'"
