about the Third Frontier money being doled out on a pay to play basis. I share that fear. However, I will support Issue 1 because they unfortunately coupled the Third Frontier initiative with the initiative to improve infrastructure. The infrastructure is like 1.5 billion as opposed to something like $5 million for Third Frontier. The infrastructure grants are awarded to local governments for improvements. I know that our City, County and townships have found great need in these monies especially in light of declining revenues.
