Do you have any idea who said this? In NH we seem to have relatively good buy in from our elected officials that FIRST is something worth supporting... it'd be nice to get them to put a portion of State dollars where their mouth is! :-)

Even if it's not as big as the MI grant, it'd be great to see something to help teams pay registration fees... particularly for the DCMP and CMP (so teams don't need to opt out for financial reasons... such as 131 this year).
