I joined and even though I listed a rural New Jersey address, I wasn't given a list of contractors even close to my area. The one veterinarian I was given was 30 miles away and has a bad verbal history among breeders. I dropped my membership. NO one I know belongs. Is this a money laundering scheme?

Tifs and referendums need to be looked at for the past 8 years. Suspect lots of fraud there.. Turn(er) over every stone on Mainstreet as well.

Actually, the amount of incentives exceeded $14 million. From the IBJ:

The Indiana Economic Development Corp. said it offered Angie's List up to $7 million in performance-based tax credits and up to $100,000 in training grants based on the company's job-creation plans.

Indianapolis will invest $7.1 million for infrastructure and neighborhood improvements through a combination of tax-increment-financing contributions, New Market Tax Credits and RebuildIndy funds, the city said.

What was it? My recollection is something like 7$ million dollars of taxpayer money to Angie's List, even though they were not IN the downtown TIF and therefore not actually legally qualified for TIF revenues.

Please check the actual dollar amount. Non-the-less, Mayor Ballard wanted our precious tax dollars to go to Angie in substantial amounts. Angie got. IMPD and IFD and other city services did not get.

Good 'investment' Ballard, Vaughn, and Kintner. What is the ROI?

Angie's List did sell out to substandard service providers by removing negative reports in exchange for them making good to the customer who reported the negative behavior.

In one case of fraud I know about, the provider told the Angie's List member that they needed $1200 worth of unneeded work. The provider got a second opinion which stated there was NO NEED for the repair and filed a negative report. After the fraudulent matter was reported, Angie's List removed the negative report after the business refunded the service call fee they charged to try to defraud the customer.

The problem was that other members do not have the benefit of knowing that the provider tries to defraud customers.

It's all about money.
