Do I really want a dashboard?
A dashboard reflects history. Tells me what has been going on.

Well that saves me having to look at General Motors when thinking about cars in the future.
$4.5 million is a lot of money to most individuals. To MI State - a rounding error. Until these fines get real - until the people involved start paying for their crime themselves - nothing will change.
Compared (say) to 36 years for stealing $50
No wonder people are pissed.
Three - count them - THREE - emails today announcing the closing down of three different services.

A sign of the times and/or things to come?
