Sue,
If the decisions are final, then the only next steps I can see would be a well written letter to the director of the state agency explaining the process dilemma in hopes they fix it for next time.
Also, as a word of advice, this happens at all levels of government to some degree. It is extremely important to make sure your pages are all numbered sequentially and as page x of y so that the review committee can discern if there are problems while reviewing. Unfortunately, many applicants write proposals that are very disjointed and so it is no surprise that sometimes they 'don't make sense', thus perhaps a question was not raised timely in the review process.
A sure way to guarantee that a full proposal is received as a full proposal is to save it as a PDF document...thus when it is printed out it is there in its entirety. This was a move the federal gov't went to w/grants.gov last year because of issues you have noted.
