Last year, a court ruled that the Legislature had to make the items public. Several newspapers had sued, claiming that because taxpayer money funds the grants, their details are public information.

The figure for the late Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski should read $153,000, not 153 million. Nonetheless, a tremendous amount for the organizations listed and the people of the 94th District and Rockland.

After reading the Lohud.com story I see that Assemblywoman Sandra Galef, D-Ossining. Does not accept pork money and said she wouldn’t until sticter standards were adopted. She thinks that not taking member items is a symbolic gesture, but all she does is shortchanges her constituents. I am sure that there are many organizations in Northern Westchester and Putnam County worthy enough to get some of this money. Senior Citizen Centers, youth baseball leaques, meals-on-wheels programs and local volunteer ambulance and fire departments in her district all could use a helping hand.
