Attn. Michigan Teams: $2,000,000 FIRST Pledge Cancelled

[Towel]

I agree with the person who said that $2,000,000 is pocket change to the government. A single town could give out that much money, never mind an entire state.

My school district (not a rich town nor a poor one) just invested $40,000,000 on a new gymnasium for my school. On top of that a few more million for new classrooms, and busts out a few k for the schools robotics team every year.

My town has a population of 23,852, the entire state of Michigan has a population of 9,938,444. On top of the fact that where my town is situated (Long Island) has some of the highest taxes in the country because of its location.

The fact that giving out this money is even an issue in any government, especially a state government, really makes me scared of what greed can do to people.

There should be absolutely no problem with giving this money to education, but it's all about getting re-elected and keeping yourself in office.
