A state commission will make a $20,000 donation to the Shelby County Veterans Court, one of only two such courts in Tennessee devoted solely to helping former service personnel deal with legal problems. The Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education & Specialization also is donating a similar amount to the Montgomery County Veterans Court and another $60,000 to encourage education, training and administrative support for courts and dockets to address the needs of veterans. The grants were announced Monday.
Kloster said that in recent years Scocos and other state officials helped the fund's finances by cutting administrative costs and spending on education grants, as well as ending health-care grants to veterans for items the federal government was already covering.

Our current economic crisis has been called the worst since the Great Depression, and most experts fear that more bad news is forthcoming," said Portantino, Chair of the Assembly Higher Education Committee. "Our country has a long history of providing grants and benefits under the G.I. Bill of Rights for veterans, including for my father. It is time to renew that pledge during this critical turning point in our history. A renewed call to invest in our students under a bold initiative would put California and the rest of the country back on the right economic track. This economic model worked in 1945 and it can work in 2009. An educated work force and new entrepreneurs will rejuvenate our economy for decades to come.
