Joe Paterno to resign at end of season

[Lamplighter]

So what is going on here ?
Is this a matter of party politics, or CYOA, or what ?
Has the organization been accused of anything...
...Sanduskey has been gone from it for quite a while.

On the surface, I can't see how withholding $ from an organization that
is supposedly providing a needed service to kids is going to help them.

Pa. gov puts $3M Sandusky charity grant on hold

(AP)* 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,
defended the decision to approve the grant while knowing about the allegations against Sandusky.

The $3 million grant, initially approved under former Gov. Ed Rendell's administration
and approved again when Corbett took office in January,
was suspended "pending further review,"
Corbett spokesman Eric Shirk said Wednesday.

The grant would have helped pay for the first phase of a Learning Center project
at The Second Mile, adding classrooms, a gym, athletic fields and dormitory space.
The grant was structured to reimburse the organization as the project progressed,
and none of the money had been spent, Shirk said.
