Stimulus fail in Chicago

In a microcosm of government waste and failure, Chicago's weatherization program has failed.
Inspections of homes repaired and/or upgraded under the program show charges for work not done and materials not used; work that was ruined by failing to repair roof leaks; and overcharging for equipment.
They should have just used the rebate model using approved contractors (which still would have failed in Chicago), or just given the money to the homeowners (they would have spent it on something, therefore stimulating the economy).
