Los Angeles County Supervisors Raise Objections to Losing $11M To Fund New Emergency System

Last week, five Los Angeles County supervisors sent a letter to the city's mayor and council president raising concerns about the loss of $11 million in federal grant funding for a project to create a multi-jurisdictional radio system for emergency responders. In the letter, the supervisors accuse the city officials of shifting the funding to another local communications project that could jeopardize the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System's creation.
