States, cities still waiting for promised antiterrorism money.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
WASHINGTON _ The nation's capital basked in the warm glow of accomplishment last week with the creation of a mammoth new bureaucracy _ the Department of Homeland Security.
But the reception was frostier among state officials who are constantly being reminded that they are on the front lines in the war on terrorism. They are upset that Congress and the White House have not come up with a promised $3.5 billion for training, equipment and security planning.
The money was to be sent to the states and distributed to "first responders" _ local police and fire departments and rescue workers.
But Congress adjourned without approving the money, a move the National League of Cities called a "colossal failure." With severe budget crunches hitting many states and cities, local officials say the anti-terrorism campaign could fall short.
