Terror funds to be reduced for U.S. cities
WASHINGTON Dozens of U.S. cities will see cuts in the anti-terrorism money they receive from the government this year, because of spending decisions to be announced tomorrow by the Homeland Security Department. According to an early copy of the list obtained yesterday by the Associated Press, 43 cities will get slightly less money in 2008 than they did the previous year. Three major metropolitan areas - New York, San Francisco and Houston - will get more money. Fourteen other cities were added to the list of recipients and will get fresh infusions of cash for anti-terror programs such as new equipment and training. In most cases, the cuts are not severe.
