Utterly Without Shame

BushCO:

The two cities attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, will receive far less antiterrorism money under plans unveiled today by the Department of Homeland Security, which has designated more money for many smaller cities throughout the country.

Washington and New York will receive 40 percent less in urban grant money compared to last year, with Washington dropping from $77 million to $46 million and New York falling from $207 million to $124 million, DHS officials said. The combined total means that the two areas bear almost the entire brunt of a $120 million cut in the overall budget for the program, the statistics show.

[...]

Reiskin said the city had been given no explanation for the funding cut. DHS officials sent "a very brief document" indicating that "more information would be forthcoming," Reiskin said.

[...]

Yet one of the other big losers in the grant sweepstakes was hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, which saw its urban grant award drop from $9.3 million to $4.6 million.

Keeping America safe, they are.
