$115 Million Destined for Advanced 911 Called a Lot Better Than Nothing

摘要

The $115 million provided for next-generation 911 in legislation to extend nthe payroll-tax holiday will be a big help to police and fire agencies, said Chairman Harlin nMcEwen of the Public Safety Spectrum Trust. "I know the amounts of funding provided in the nbill for all categories, including next generation 911 are less than we had expected or hoped for nbut believe they are still substantial and they will be very helpful in significantly improving npublic safety communications," he said. McEwen said President Barack Obama has npromised to sign the legislation.
