Schumer Gives Up Hope on More Anti-Terror Money June 05, 2006 -Senator Charles Schumer says it's unlikely New York will be able to secure more homeland security funding this year. This after the city's share was cut by 40% from last year. REPORTER: Schumer and others are calling for the formula to be changed next year. Mayor Bloomberg says Washington doesn't appreciate the way the city spends the money, such as paying for police overtime so that cops can monitor landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge. BLOOMBERG: Washington doesn't quite understand. The ways that you prevent terrorism and the ways you bring down crime, the ways you improve society is with out municipal work forces on the street doing their jobs. And Washington likes to pay for capital projects where they can have a photo op and see a big truck show up in the middle of a small town. REPORTER: Senator Schumer suggested that the cuts are part of a broader pattern emerging out of Washington, and points to preliminary cuts for bioterror funding from the Centers for Disease Control. He says the CDC intends to give $21 million to New York, a 17 percent cut from last year. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
