Your homeland security dollars
Americablog found this in the Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General's Report (February 2006):
For example, a Fortune 500 refinery received a port security grant in round five totaling almost $1 million for fencing and surveillance upgrades at a refinery located in a major port. It did put up the same amount in matching funds. This company recently reported 3rd quarter net income in excess of $1.2 billion. We remained concerned about the absence of more specific guidance on security measures proposed by private companies that are capable of paying for them, and what measures they should pay for.Nothing like a little subsidy here and there for the big oil companies, is there?
