Dianne Feinstein: “I think we are both alike in that we say wherever there is threat and risk and vulnerability, that is where the money…”

On the recordMarch 5, 2007
I think we are both alike in that we say wherever there is threat and risk and vulnerability, that is where the money should go. If it is the State of Texas, that is fine with me. If it is the State of California, that is fine. If it is New York, Florida, Connecticut or Maine--wherever the threat and risk is--that is where the money should go. It is clear to me that the big States have felt very aggrieved. Big States with big landmarks, big ports, big oil and petroleum reserves and that kind of thing, feel definitely that they don't get the money they need to provide the protection they need.
