Wow.....that stimulus package is sure doing a lot for my community. Thanks guys.

he funds should help assist some 600 low- to moderate-income households to make their homes more weather-proof...
An average of about $4,500 is spent per house.

um...what happens with the other 1.4 million ?

Did you read that MI is getting $325 million for home weatherization but you can only make $44,000 (2x the federal poverty line) to get the benefit of up to $6,500?

Gee, guess we of the middle class are about to get shafted AGAIN.

A windfall for the usual cabal of con artist “weatherization” contractors.

I live in Washtenaw County, maybe I should fire myself so I’m broke and unemployed for a couple months, let gummit fix my house up and then I can rehire myself back on the job.

All that cash is going to end up in FOAA. (Friends of Ann Arbor.)

Hope this doesn’t cover air conditioners, too me that would be a luxury.

The program, which normally exists on a $350,000 annual budget, has 18 months to spend the money.

That's $227,777.78 a month; they'll no doubt spend the money wisely, perhaps by using it to purchase household fans during the heat of summer for distribution to those who don't have air conditioning; and also by purchasing winterization plastic in December and and installing it early in May.
