$20-million "Green Jobs" Program in Seattle Deemed a Failure - What about Lake County

Many local governments, including Lake County, have received Federal funds to provide retrofitting services to homeowners to install energy related insulation, etc.

Lake County is just starting such a program, called Go Green, Get Green.

But Seattle's got $20-million and after one year, they have only created 14 jobs...

Hopefully there is more in Lake County, although our funding is a lot less (I think it is $800,000 to provide rebates on energy efficient appliances and retrofits).
