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.

As far as I'm concerned, just give them a couple of cans of Thompson's water seal......

This program is completely wrong headed.

If they were serious about fixing energy waste, they’d target the money to landlords to fix heating systems and window seals in their rentals. Landlords have no real incentive to improve the efficiency of their rentals unless they pay the electric bill.

More pork. And it’s true, what happens to the $1.4 M left over? Does it go back to the congressman’s reelection campaign?
