New York is once again getting short-changed by the Department of Homeland Security when it comes to security, according to its elected officials.
The New York metro area will get $134 million under the Urban Area Security Initiative grant program for 2007. That’s a 7.7 percent increase over last year’s grant, but according to Sen. Hillary Clinton, nowhere near the $207 million received in 2005.
Clinton put out a statement today after meeting with Homeland Security Michael Chertoff saying New York had not gotten its fair share.
“There has been an underestimation of the risk we have to confront,” she said in the statement.
