Are security funds being spent wisely?
Wednesday, March 31, 2004
By no means do I seek to diminish the concern for terrorist attacks, but I have to question the $42 million Missouri received Tuesday from the Homeland Security Grant program. Don't misunderstand - I assume Missouri could indeed be a target for terrorists and preparation is extremely important. But perhaps when we truly assess the risk for Midwestern states, much of that money could be better spent elsewhere.
