Bill Cosby has turned down a request from Franklin County, Mass., to make up a $10,000 budget shortfall. Franklin County Commission Chairman William Benson said the commission asked Cosby, who maintains a home in the county, for the donation to help finance a program aimed at preventing teen-age pregnancy. In a letter to county commissioners this week, an aide to Cosby--who, according to Forbes magazine, made an estimated $57 million in 1987--said the comedian would not make up for the budgetary shortfall.
