The trucking company didn't obtain a DPS report on Mr. Largent's driving record or run a criminal background check on him, according to court documents. If it had, JTM would have learned that Mr. Largent had been arrested for burglary in the early 1970s, convicted of driving while intoxicated in 1980 and convicted of methamphetamine possession in 1984 and sentenced to three months in jail. He was charged with driving while intoxicated in February 1994 but pleaded guilty to reckless conduct, received deferred adjudication and was sentenced to community service. He also had been ticketed five times between 1982 and 1990 for driving without liability insurance, a DPS report showed.
FEMA didn't balk when in 2002 a team of Temple University scientists offered to take on a piece of that job in one of the Philadelphia region's most flood-imperiled sectors, the Pennypack Creek watershed, and to cobble together the funds.

Garry continued: “ Perhaps even more worringly is the finding that many people appear to be seriously under-estimating the value of their home contents. Except for two regions, the South East and East Anglia, people valued their home contents below £15,000. Legal & General has calculated that for an average three bedroomed home the value of the contents could be at least twice that amount, at just over £35,000. We would advise everyone to review their home contents insurance and in particularly check that any purchases made during the summer, such as the new TV to watch the World Cup or for the digital switchover is adequately covered.”
