Homeland Security cuts grants to NYC, DC, New Orleans
all over the news of course, but here's an excerpt from one of the articles in re: Homeland Security cuts...
"Potential targets outside the Northeast also took painful hits, including New Orleans, San Diego and Phoenix. New Orleans's grants for security and disaster preparedness were cut in half even as it struggles to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina.
In Washington, where the funding dropped from about $77 million to about $46 million, Mayor Anthony A. Williams called the decision "shortsighted."
New York's grant plummeted from about $207 million to $124 million. A DHS risk scorecard for the city asserted that the home of the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge has "zero" national monuments or icons."
"zero" national monuments or icons...who ARE these people?!?!
