Actually, I miswrote. The intention was to promote FIRST in Western Mass. The total number of teams in MA is either shrinking or staying the same and the best place for growth seems to be Western MA which is not as high-tech but has very few teams.
My point was that just because someone decides not to attend an event doesn't mean that they are hypocritical. However, I don't know Gov. Granholm.
