LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE TWIN TIERS...RECENTLY NEW YORK STATE--WITH THE BLESSING OF GOVERNOR DAVID PATERSON--PROVIDED THOUSANDS OF ‘BACK TO SCHOOL” GRANTS TO FAMILIES ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE.
FAMILIES RECEIVED $200 OF “BACK TO SCHOOL” MONEY FOR EACH OF THEIR KIDS. $140 MILLION DOLLARS OF PUBLIC STIMULUS MONEY FUNDED MOST OF THIS GIVEAWAY...ALONG WITH $35-MILLION IN PRIVATE FUNDING. WELL...GOVERNOR PATERSON SHOULD BE ASHAMED ON HIMSELF.
THIS PROGRAM HANDED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OVER TO PEOPLE WITH NO SAFEGUARDS, MONITORING, OR ACCOUNTABILITY. YES, I'M SURE LOTS OF PARENTS SPENT THE MONEY ON THEIR KIDS. I'M ALSO SURE THAT SOME OTHERS SPENT THE MONEY ON TOBACCO, DRUGS, ALCOHOL, AND GAMBLING.
PERHAPS NEXT TIME...IF THERE IS A NEXT TIME...A PROGRAM LIKE THIS WILL SEND OUT VOUCHERS THAT WILL ONLY BE GOOD FOR BACK TO SCHOOL CLOTHING AND MATERIALS.
WITH COMMENTARY...WHICH CAN BE SEEN ANYTIME ON THE WEB AT WETMTV.COM...I'M YOUR PH.D. OF POLITICS...AND HOST OF ”COLEMAN AND COMPANY”…WHICH NOW AIRS AT 10:30 ON SUNDAY MORNINGS ON WETM-TV…DR. STEPHEN HURRICANE COLEMAN THE THIRD...THAT'S MY OPINION...WHAT'S YOURS?
