"Money for spinal cord research was cut during the depths of the Fiscal Crisis under former Gov. David Paterson, and now advocates for spinal cord injury research are calling for the funds to be restored.

Here are some details, including a link to a video featuring among others former State Police Sgt. Paul Richter, who was partially paralyzed when he was shot in the line of duty..."

I never digged into how "more than $71 million for scientific research" have been actually spent, I cant find on the web anything at the moment.

Bob, do you have any idea?

I can do a right to know request like I did with justadollarplease, but I feel why bother, I found out negative information there, I even spoke about it here, a few people shook their head in bewilderment and then they forget.

Grass roots advocacy fertilized by Big Pharma-DICHOTOMY at it's best

Thankyou paolo, yes it did ...

Thankyou for sharing the link, its great being able to keep up to speed on these matters. Hopefully research can continue but are accounts not available for public view on where money is spent?

If they spent $71 million on research they must be able to explain where the money went!

Yeah they explain it sometimes and most people are accepting even though they can't make any sense of what research is going on. Hey the first thing a doctor learns is how to give big names to simple things so we think they know what they are doing.

Most people don't understand the research and that's why we need TRUSTED experts to help us sought through what's being offered out there and what would be good to promote.

So far the closest thing to that has been grammy's blog

At the end of the day it's not enough to hear from a researcher that he is looking for a cure aren't they all
