Fourteen MNsure managers were paid bonuses totalling more than $26,000 in November as Minnesota launched its troubled online health insurance exchange, state officials said Wednesday.

So this is nothing new for failure-inducing chuckleheads.
And, don’t forget, the original administrator of the program took a vacation as the system was rolled out and was crumbling. More proof government can’t efficiently handle a program, and Obamacare, MNSure, etc. are proving it more every day.
They probably got a bonus for delivering it “on time.” It didn’t work, but they met their date.
I think they got bonuses for making sure that they developed a product guaranteed NOT to work. Creating chaos in the health insurance industry/advancing the agenda, doncha’ know!
Dayton took “responsibility” for the debacle. So get your check book out Marky.
I made it to work on time in a snowstorm during rush hour today.
I should get a bonus!
Kurt Zellers said today that Dems even blocked his attempt to prevent MNSURE phone center workers from working there if they are convicted felons .
Dems protect their constituents.
