Warren to Seek State Defense Fund and Corps
Governor Warren announced plans to request a state defense appropriation and to establish a State Defense and Security Corps similar to a WWII state guard. He said arms could not be supplied without Congress approval, with a $250 million appropriation tied to school construction and security measures.
