Caught up in controversy, Whitefish still wants to get paid

摘要

Whitefish Energy Holdings LLC, which found itself mired in controversy over a $300 million contract to repair the hurricane-ravaged power grid in Puerto Rico, still wants to get paid. In an exclusive interview, the CEO of the company - based in the Montana hometown of former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke - says it's owed more than $100 million. That's for work it completed before the island's bankrupt utility terminated the deal in 2017, when hurricanes Irma and Maria wreaked havoc in Puerto Rico.
