Sponsor Criticized by Newspaper

It looks like fundraising just became more difficult.There was an article in Newsday today about spending on "pork" projects by state politicians. I expected to see a listing of the usual pet projects. However, I was surprised to see that State Senator Owen Johnson's $100,000 donation to the SBPLI regional was one of the grants under scrutiny. It looks like we still have a lot of work to do when it comes to spreading the word about FIRST.
