PHILADELPHIA — A $3 million state grant that was earmarked for a youth charity established
by a former Penn State football assistant coach at the heart of a child molestation scandal has been put on hold.
Gov. Tom Corbett said Wednesday he knew that The Second Mile’s founder, Jerry Sandusky,
was gone from the organization when the grant was approved earlier this year.
Corbett, who said the funds were being withheld in light of the growing scandal, ~snip~
Corbett, a Republican, was the attorney general whose office in 2008 began the investigation
into allegations of sexual contact between young boys and Sandusky, who founded the charity in 1977.

I'm not really sure what you are getting at Spexx. The money was approve, then put on hold. Correct decision at this point, IMO.
I don't see the connection to your public/private argument. The real issue, to me, is in the last part of my quote. What did Corbett know back in 2008 and why did it take years for this to come out?
