Patch Poll: Was It Right to Fire Joe Paterno?

We want to know what local people think about the national issue.

Huge news this week: Beloved Penn State coach Joe Paterno was fired Wednesday for his role in the university's child sex abuse scandal.

Paterno and his staff apparently covered up the alleged sexual assault crimes of Paterno's former assistant, Jerry Sandusky.

Paterno is not charged with any crimes in connection with the case and said that he regretted not doing more after learning about the allegations.
