Yesterday I said in regards to NYC getting less from DHS:

Whomever wrote the grant application for the city must’ve done a really, really, really crappy job.

From Captain’s Quarters:

The federal agency distributing $711 million in antiterrorism money to cities around the nation found numerous flaws in New York City’s application and gave poor grades to many of its proposals.

Its criticism extended to some of the city’s most highly publicized counterterrorism measures.

At the same time, federal officials said yesterday that the city not only did a poor job of articulating its needs in its application, but it also mishandled the application itself, failing to file it electronically as required and instead faxing its request to Washington, where it had to be entered manually into a computer system. City and state officials denied making that mistake.–NY Times
