Did we read the article?

The article is describing the process by which New York's legislators place funding for their pet projects in the state budget. The article is fairly neutral on the subject, noting that it's controversial and often partisan, and gives several examples. Only once, in a table below the article itself, is the SPBLI grant mentioned, and it's not in the form of a complaint, nor is an opinion of any sort provided.

In any event, a $100 000 donation (to any organization) is large enough that it's worth a little legislative scrutiny.
