"The stimulus program is right on time, but it can be very complicated and confusing to figure out at first," said Brian Benstock, general manager of New York-based Paragon Honda. "The Planner gave us a track to run on, and made it easier to understand and apply the right way, to secure stimulus funds faster, so we can keep everyone on payroll and get back to 100 percent as quickly as possible," Benstock added.
