NYS giving $25M to VFDs

https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/news/2024/02/01/new-state-funding-available-for-volunteer-fire-departments

new york state

follow the money - taxpayer sends money to local tax collector or
county tax collector or pays sales tax or state income tax to revenue
guy in Albany - local tax collector or county tax collector forwards
money to revenue guy in Albany - revenue guy in Albany gives money to
some state level fire bureaucrat in Albany - fire bureaucrat doles out
money in dribs and drabs to VFDs

all these hands on the money earn salaries for handling the money

what is the theoretical advantage to having all of these hands handle
the money? are local people too stupid to handle their own money?
