Re: Virginia Teams: Action requested

I don't know if this is the case for VaFIRST but a similar bill has made its way through Maryland. The FIRST partner, STEMaction, isn't able to lobby for the bill due to receiving grant funding from the State of Maryland. There might be a similar grantee for VaFIRST that ties their hands.

BTW, Great Job on this and I hope it gets passed! Having STEM activities funded directly by the state is a huge step in the right direction.
