other than SRS and those entities that recieved the grants, who knows what Title VIIB or a QUILT program is? I get it, organizations who should have as their mission anyway got 15,000 average amount grants to promote independent living for persons with disabilities. SRS didn't read about the bail out that implies less funding for services next year.... and years to come. I am sure there was a huge need to spend the tax payers dollars in advertising this year... especially to give it to non tax paying entities. Where were the legislative reps when this was being considered as a ... good idea??
