I don't know about the car....unless they have to have a vehicle modified to transport him home and then in the driveway around the clock in case of an emergency....just
a wild guess at how they would justify that. The property
tax exemption and college tuition sounds like a state benefit for disabled vets. I'd be willing to bet the 19 year old can only use that at a state supported college in his local area. Maybe the car is donated by
a local dealership....This really sounds like a private
industry, state, and Fed partnership and, if so, it's a good thing. Can't imagine the feds providing this much
for anyone all on their own.

I kind of think you've hit the nail on the head with this assessment. I didn't see the live story, as I'm not consistant on which channel I watch the news. Andy Wise does a 3 on your side weekly series. He has SHAMED TennCare into providing life saving brain surgery to a baby who was DENIED the surgery. Gotten money back from ripped of consumers, etc.

I need to know a lot more about these benefits before I begin to approve of these taxpayer benefits. ALS is not a service related illness so it's hard to see how all these extras are deserved.
