Veterans of Foreign Wars State Adjutant John Brenner addresses the crowd of about 100 supporters of the Scotland School for Veterans Children gathered in the Soldiers and Sailors Grove behind the state Capitol this morning for the latest in a series of rallies aimed at stopping the planned closure of the school. Brenner and other representatives of veterans' organizations urged support for House Bill 1713, which would require an in-depth study before any veterans' facility could be closed. Budget proposals for the new fiscal year from both Gov. Edward G. Rendell and state Senate Republicans contain no money to continue operating the school, which wasfounded in 1895. |
