Passing up $700,000

The new governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick, has decided that the state does not need the $700,000 it can receive from the federal government by promoting abstinence-only sex education. Patrick's decision is based on the increasing restrictions placed on this money. In prior years all of the grant has gone to one organization, which is an offshoot of an anti-abortion group.

Will the legislature agree with the governor?
