The Governor was right to veto this bill, although spinal cord research is a noble cause. Otherwise, what would be next? A 100% state tax on overdue library books to fund eye research? The bigger question should be why the state has funded this program all of these years. If the state Legislature is to have any role in medical research funding, it ought to be done on some rational basis than what’s politically popular. The flu probably kills and impairs the lives of more people than most medical conditions that have their own state-funded institutes, but I doubt that the Legislature funds a flu research program.
