Those $22,600 W. Virginia routers were "economical"

[zigzag3143]

At a House Energy and Commerce Committee oversight hearing yesterday, Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) wanted to know why the state of West Virginia bought hundreds of $22,000 enterprise-grade routers from Cisco, only to place some of them into tiny rural libraries with a couple computers. Hundreds more sit in warehouses, still awaiting installation.

I read an article on this somewhere yesterday where it was reported that the Cisco salesman who sold this $24 million contract retired soon after.

What kind of % would buy a clean conscience?
