[Lil' Lavery]

I'm glad to see some people are interjecting a little bit of reason into this thread. There wasn't a great deal of "criticism" in the article, although there did seem to be some negative connotations carried through-out (just my opinion). FIRST was not a specific target in any way shape or form, nor was the contribution to the regional or the state senator. In fact, there were quite a few other programs and initiatives listed there worthy of equal merit as FIRST (and even a biased group such as CD could agree). Time to take a step back and breathe, people.
