$25,000 Pyramid Scheme?

I'm thinking that Dick Clark post stroke could have handled the Iowa Appliance Rebate Program better than the State of Iowa.

To pay the Minnesota company that ran(?) the phone lines and web site $25,000 is simply atrocious for that level of lack of service and the scientific community is united in that fact.

I have agree with a person the Ragister interviewed who said --"The way they're doing this just doesn't make sense. "Why wouldn't they do it like cash for clunkers, where the auto dealer filled everything out?

It would have put more traffic in the stores and probably gone a hell of a lot smoother and the money would have lasted the assumed two weeks, instead of the few hours for those lucky enough to get through.
