This is CRAZY!!

Crazy? I guess it looks pretty odd if you don't know the background.
So here's some background that might help explain things.

Here's the full investigative report:

I just stumbled on to this website and this information about ODADAS doing this, but it does not surprise me. I am the Coordinator of a Drug Court Program north of Columbus. We recently submitted a grant proposal outlining why and how we can do better business with the state's tax money than the only "certified" treatment provider in the entire county. ODADAS not only ignored the citizens and community leaders of this county and awarded this "certified" agency with over 200k of taxpayer money. They did all that and on top of it provided our proposal/grant application to this other agency who then rewrote theirs with our information and was approved. All this after it was proven how this other agency and it's predecessor wasted over 1.5 million taxpayer dollars since 2000.
Now their Director (former Dir. Tester) resigns because of a sex scandal, go figure.
