Paul Revere is right. Enough agencies exist to protect children. These disbursements are nothing more than convenient "earmarks" to local constituents.

Is this the bone that Silver and Bruno threw him - a million dollar slushfund to peddle to the public via a press conference/release?

Do we have district attorneys' offices, many with special child-crime bureaus? If the answer to those questions is "We have all of those," then one more question: Why is this taxpayer money necessary in a state that is about to go broke? Three questions:

1. Do we have police departments?

2. Do we have Child Protective Services?

3. Do have a number of other child-related agencies?

4. Do we have district attorneys’ offices, many
with special child-crime bureaus?

If the answer to those questions is “We have all of those,” then one more question: Why is this taxpayer money necessary in a state that is about to go broke?
