Legislative Scholarship Prompts Federal Investigation

One former state representative is under investigation for abusing the legislative scholarship program.  Robert Molaro allegedly gave the tuition waivers to the children of a man who contributed to his campaign.  State senator Larry Bomke says efforts to eliminate the tuition waivers have failed in the past.

Sen. Bomke hasn't given a scholarship out in two years because he says the universities don't get reimbursed by the state.

Bomke says if the scholarship program is not eliminated, more criteria should be established on how it's administered.
