City’s anti-terror funding to drop
- Share via
Los Angeles will receive less federal money this year than last for anti-terror programs.
According to an early copy of the list obtained Wednesday by the Associated Press, more money is heading to three large cities -- Houston, New York and San Francisco -- from the $782 million in the Urban Area Security Initiative to help pay for equipment and training.
But Los Angeles’ total will fall by about $2 million, to $70.4 million, according to both AP and local law enforcement sources contacted by The Times.
