It seems like enough money to enrich the chosen vendors without actually making much progress. Just enough for them to come back and say well now we know how much work is needed to be done — we need $200MM! It’s not unique to Maine unfortunately. There are whole firms funded entirely by the US government and they tend to be grossly inefficient because they spend all their money trying to get the contracts in the first place
