False info in FEMA directors resume
Posted: Fri Sep 09, 2005 2:55 pm
Heard this on CNN last night, Time has published an article about discrepancies in Michael Brown’s resume. CNN mentioned on TV last night that Brown had absolutely no experience to be a director and only got appointed because he was a roommate during college with some powerful republican. (Can’t recall the name now and it’s not in the articles)

Before joining FEMA, his only previous stint in emergency management, according to his bio posted on FEMA's website, was "serving as an assistant city manager with emergency services oversight." The White House press release from 2001 stated that Brown worked for the city of Edmond, Okla., from 1975 to 1978 "overseeing the emergency services division." In fact, according to Claudia Deakins, head of public relations for the city of Edmond, Brown was an "assistant to the city manager" from 1977 to 1980, not a manager himself, and had no authority over other employees.

However, Brown "wasn't a professor here, he was only a student here," says Charles Johnson
