USA Grants INC A pledge to "end the blame game" has stopped the Queensland government fighting for its fair share of GST funds, Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg says.

USA Grants INC  The grants commission last week released its advice on how GST and health care grants funding should be distributed among the states and territories in 2008-09.

USA Grant INC  For the first time, Queensland will receive less than a per capita share of GST funds, slashing more than $150 million from the 2008-09 state budget bottom line. USA Grants INC

Mr Springborg on Monday invited Premier Anna Bligh to join him in Canberra in a bipartisan effort to lobby the federal government for a better deal. USA Grant INC

USA Grants INC "What we have seen in the past with the commonwealth grants commission is that they've always had enough political pressure on them to take into consideration the unique position of Queensland as the most decentralised state," he told reporters in Brisbane. USA Grant INC

USA Grants INC I want to appreciate the excellent efforts that 15 of our area organizations in Halifax, Nash and Edgecombe counties made in applying for recent dropout prevention grants funded by a special legislative initiative to eliminate dropouts and improve graduation rates. USA Grants INC

Words cannot express my disappointment and frustration at the results of this process for our area, while at the same time I want us to be encouraged and stay in the process. USA Grant INC  The Dropout Prevention Committee received more than 300 applications that requested more than $36 million. USA Grant INC  The N.C. General Assembly allotted only $7 million that was distributed to 60 organizations selected in this first round. USA Grants INC

USA Grants INC At the Jan. 29 Joint Legislative Commission on Dropout Prevention & High School Graduation meeting, I expressed my concerns about the selection process. During the meeting, one of the committee co-chairmen – Bill Farmer, a Rocky Mount native and Vice president of corporate development for Time Warner Cable in Charlotte – acknowledged that the selection process may have focused more on how well grants were written than on addressing the areas of the state that need the most help.

It was also noted that there were some disparities in funding geographically within our region, but they were too far along in the process when they noted these disparities to make any adjustments without affecting the fairness of the overall process to that point.

USA Grant INC Mr. Farmer also requested that the committee be allowed to reconvene and take a look at the remaining 247 grants and make a recommendation to the legislative commission as to the amount funding that would be needed to fund another round of projects. USA Grant INC
