Security Adviser Needs $3-Million Next Year

Missouri’s Homeland Security Adviser believes the state has spent all that is necessary for security in the current fiscal year. But Tim Daniel is looking for more than $2-million for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1st. Daniel says the $785,000 being spent this year in Missouri should do it. He does not see a need for supplemental funds. As for the next fiscal year, Daniel says $2-million to $3-million will be needed. This year’s funding is paying for new security measures, including badges for state employees and more guards at government buildings.
