Franklin County and several other Texas Counties will not be receiving 2008 Interoperable Communications Grant funds. The anticipated $50,000 to $70,000 in “Homeland Security Funds” were reallocated after paperwork was not reported as received. Marshal Allen has already begun the lengthy and tedious process of applying for 2010 program funding. For more information, see the Nov. 19 edition of the Optic-Herald.
