Would someone be able to create anti-Trump stories if the work was going badly?
You may have your answer.

How good did Hillary's brother do in Haiti after the earthquake?

Clinton's did great. Huma even updated Hilldog on those 33 kids that illegal odoption company smuggled to "safety" to the Dominican.

San Juan mayor sure thinks not, but she is a federal money squandering, federal food aid trashing c*** bag.
I honestly hope Whitefish leaves her high and dry after her next round of "I'm gonna bitch about something, look at me."

They have the worst terrain to deal with. Involves the use of highly specialized equipment, helicopters, etc.. pretty tough job.
Rebuilding power lines on flat ground with trucks and pickers is relatively easy. The mountains are a different ball game altogether.

Wait, What? That wasn't in SJ. Not defending her but not an accurate statement.

I figured they'd have experience with this in Montana.

They do. That’s why they have that assignment. I don’t know enough about what is going on with them to know if they are doing a good, mediocre, or bad job. Just pointing out they have the most challenging assignment.

If these are the same people responsible for the Coney Island Whitefish, they do a bang up job.

Still shady how only 2 full time employees with a net revenue of under 1M/year and 2 years old netted a 300M dollar contract.

No, not shady at all. Other bidders wanted a mandatory minimum payment and they didn't.
Thus PR chose them. May not have been a good move on PR part, but not shady

I’ve been to PR since the storm hit, been outside in the countryside as well. Generally people are frustrated but in decent mood.
-energy crews were late to get started due to logistics, crews got there usually days before their trucks which shipped down in barges.
- crews are re-building to US standards, which is causing other items that may not have been damaged to blow since they are not up to us code.
- also saw significant numbers of downed poles - like all of them in multiple mile stretches.
- up in the mountains it’s a true mess, they will not get grid supplied power back for a long time, I’d guess some areas for up to a year will be on gensets.
- water is the bigger issue - multiple confirmed cases of legionaries disease from contaminated water.
- sewage treatment is also an issue with no power/water. So I wouldn’t reccomend swimming on the coast.also saw people just pouring buckets out at the curb.
Also should note I heard from multiple locals in San Juan that the mayor sent their debris trucks into the countryside since Syed running for governor next year.

Handling mountainous terrain is supposed to be Whitefish"s specialty.

This kind of work is certainly project based and would require a staffing surge. Not real unusual for it to be bare bones permanent staff, though 2 is very bare bones. Perhaps they outsource a lot of the office/admin services. I don't really know how they are setup, but it's not impossible for that kind of configuration to work well.
It is definitely swampy appearances that they got a no bid contract worth that amount of $ and coincidentally are from the hometown of the Interior Secretary.

That contract out their business. Why is that hard to understand?

they have yet to do anything, the Governor of Puerto Rico has sued so that that do not get the right to completely take over the Puerto Rico Power Grid.

PR is in deep debt and doesn't have the cash demanded by the bigger companies. They didn't have a lot of good choices.
