REPUBLICAN Peter King: DHS's allocations to NYC ... 'indefensible and disgraceful'

yeow Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, Rep. Peter King (R-NY), calls the cut, "indefensible and disgraceful." "New York City has been attacked twice and is doing more than any other city in the country to defend itself and our nation," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, DHS and the administration have declared war on New York City, and I am going to fight this as hard as I possibly can." NY Governor George Pataki: "They are claiming that they are doing more allocations based on threat-based analysis but I don't think that's the case."
