Massachusetts FDs get state funds

https://theconcordbridge.org/index.php/2022/12/21/concord-fire-receives-grant-for-new-portable-radios/

$5M for 5 years - funds from State of Mass to local FDs for minor
equipment purchases

adding yet another layer of bureaucracy to keep YOU safe

lets follow the money on this - residents pay tons of taxes and buy
tons of lottery tickets - money goes to state - state hires a couple
of people to dribble that money back to the local governments after
300,000 pages of paperwork have been filled out

cool

maybe 5 people work this program at the state level - $100K each for a
cool $.5M - and then all the locals have to fill out tons of paperwork
which probably eats up $500,000 in time - so we have lost 20% of the
funding before the first glove gets delivered

but hey its free
