Congressman Presses Red Cross CEO for Answers on Impact of Downsizing
A key congressman who sits on a committee that oversees the American Red Cross is pressing the group’s CEO for information about how layoffs and other cuts have affected its ability to respond to disasters.
In a six-page letter sent Wednesday, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., cited ProPublica’s recent reporting on Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern, as well as previous ProPublica and NPR coverage on the charity’s responses to Superstorm Sandy and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
