Trans. Dept. Hires More People: Let’s Get Those Rebates Out!

August 11th, 2009

If there is one thing that I know about Detroiter’s, it is the fact that if they are owed money, they want it right away – and that is why the transportation department is actually hiring people so that the paperwork can get processed faster.  That is the greatest thing in the world … honestly.

So far, about $1.63 billion dollars has gone into this particular program and about 400,000 vouchers have been turned in by dealers, which is amazing!
