Yeah well maybe NYC needs to tax its own for security. We cannot afford any more pork to the NYC endless hole.
"NYC has received the lion's share of Homeland Security funds for the past five years. What about the rest of the nation?"
Exactly.
And of course The Slimes is always ready to pile on.
It sure makes me want to send more money from Texas.
those other cities - will be using this money to buy new police cars and radar guns. what anti-terror measures is Louisville KY going to implement?
NYT has it:
Security Cuts for New York and Washington .
I agree. Besides, this means the hildebeast nor billy goat in NY nor dem DC mayor can claim credit where credit is not due.
No kidding--I'm just shaking in my boots that NY voters will "punish" Republicans in '08.
This is what happens when you swear a blood oath of loyalty to one political party--you get taken for granted AND ignored.

When Sheriff Barney Freaking Fife started getting his MP-5s and anti-bomb robots out in Mayberry I started to get a bad feeling.

The local tabloids savaged Chertoff, with an editorial cartoon in the Daily News comparing him with infamous traitor Benedict Arnold.
``Terror? What Terror?'' asked a mocking front page headline in the New York Post. ``Feds To City: Drop Dead,'' read page one of the Daily News.

Sure that would be 7,200,000 of them.
Maybe he's talking about 7.5 million or so who started pulling the straight "D" lever again less than a year after 9/11. You know, the 7.5 million that have given us Senators Schumer and Clinton?
Funny how these clowns suddenly believe there are terrorists!
Hey New Yorkers, CRY ME A RIVER, BADA BADA BING..........
Why drag California into it?
BTW the world does kind-of revolve around New York.
It is the financial capital of the world.
And more than 10% of Americans live in California.
So boo hoo yourself.
P.S. There are millions of republicians in californa, we are just outnumbered.
Free republic is in california.
Reagan came from California.
Take your california hating self and have a cold one.
They have been getting money for five years. Are they not fortifying and reinforcing possible targets? After a few years, there should be fewer and fewer items that need to be upgraded. If the money stayed the same, pretty soon, dogs would be wearing bullet-proof vests.
NYC is so 2001... LA LA Land or DC are the ones that need to have their heads up IMO.
The Hildebeast promised 200,000 jobs for NYS and instead we have lost 150,000 jobs. She is quite the clueless wonder. Perfect for the drones of NYS.
Rarely do I think about her -- except when I read about a sting on cops arresting prostitutes.
