Bob Menendez Misrepresents The Facts About Homeland Security Funding
Bob Menendez, constantly and falsely, blames President Bush for the formula used by the federal government to distribute homeland security funding.
As we have written many times, President Bush favored a risk based formula, but Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT.) held passage of the Patriot Act hostage until a different method for allocating homeland security funds to the states was adopted. The name of the formula used is called The Leahy All-State Minimum Formula.
Below is a screen capture from Leahy’s website. As you can see, Leahy takes credit for creating the formula and for getting Congress to reject the President’s proposal to end the Leahy all-state minimum formula.
