11/20/2006 A recent editorial stated that the $1.2 million in grants for the Rochester Area football stadium was based on the "whim" of state legislators. First, approximately half of the grant is for the turf, and the remainder is for the other improvements to the overall recreational facility, such as the tennis courts, basketball courts, etc. Next, the editorial indicated that grants should be based on need. The Rochester Area School District is third from the bottom in the county in terms of budget. One mill brings in a whopping $70,000, fourth from the bottom in the county.
