Plan to Cut Antiterror Spending Is Criticized by Stateâ??s Leaders

[Ozarks]

I have previously posted about the Homeland Security funds which were distributed to places that are unlikely to be attacked. This is obviously wrong, but NYC and the other targeted cities need the help.

I agree with you on the funds going to the biggest targets but I think politics is driving this, Schumer is grandstanding to get all he can for NY (which is OK thats his job)the funding is being reduced nation wide.

The fact remains that the Feds are giving

"$70 million or $80 million"

not to a state or county but a single city.

â??Itâ??s stunning that the federal government would consider cutting New York Cityâ??s homeland security funds from the already inadequate level that currently exists,â?� said John Gallagher, a spokesman for Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg

This guy has Kennedy mentality, anything other than a blank check with yearly increases is "underfunding"

When is enough, enough.

They've wasted money homeland security funds by giving them away to the wrong areas, by typical pork barrel allocations. The simple truth is that if New York goes down, so does the rest of the country.
