Antiterror aid to Mass. drops again

Massachusetts is going to see a decline in federal money and it receives to help cities and towns buy equipment and train emergency workers for possible terrorist attacks, according to a law enforcement official briefed by the US Department of Homeland Security.
The department announced that Massachusetts will receive approximately $34 million in homeland security grants for first responders this fiscal year, which began last October, down from $41 million the previous fiscal year.

I am glad that they get financial support from government. I think that improvement is good but it should be equal to all states.

It's crucial to support a city in aspects of providing the people. Though it costs of borrowing money, I believe it was the right decision to do so to help the people in Massachusetts.
