A couple of area school districts and a Trout Unlimited chapter are among 10 entities that will share $50,000 in educational grants awarded by the Fish and Boat Commission.
The grants -- known officially as Sportfishing and Aquatic Resource Education Grants -- are meant to develop or expand programs that teach kids fishing and boating skills or educate them about waterways and the creatures that live in them.
Yough School District's Outdoors Club received $5,000 to promote safe watercraft use, environmental stewardship, and fishing. Mount Lebanon School District also got $5,000 to introduce students to fly fishing.

If Mr. Allison had a phone call with Governor Rendell - my guess is that Fly Fishing would not even be in the top 25 of his priorities – at least so I hope. This is just a very small example of what is wrong with state government. “Doling the Dollars” happens everyday with millions of dollars. Locally, we are suppose to appreciate sending these dollars "home" - I would much rather see Mr. Allison's priorities addressed or don't take our money in the first place.
