Gov. rejects $850,000 federal grant for sex ed

Pawlenty rejects $850,000 federal grant for sex ed | StarTribune.com: Gov. Tim Pawlenty has rejected a federal teen pregnancy prevention grant worth $850,000, with no strings attached, while giving his approval for $500,000 in abstinence-only money that will cost the state $379,000 in matching funds.
A spokesman for Pawlenty said the governor turned down the larger grant because 'he is striving to find ways to stop' the implementation of health reform in Minnesota, even though both grants were funded by the health care legislation.
