Arming Against Crime Republicans push to shift police funding
The House approved a crime control bill that moves authority from the Attorney General to the states for federal aid. The measure, 377 to 23, raises funding from 50 to 75 million dollars with 30 million for civil disorder, 36 million for planning and a national police institute, and 9 million for other uses. The shift argues against federal guidelines over local law enforcement.
