Our report on federal funding for first responders continues to generate discussion. America's First Responders and the Federal Budget: A Study of Rhetoric Versus Reality was featured on journalist David Corn's website.

We appreciate his mentioning of our report, but do need to clarify that we believe responsibility for funding shortfalls can be shared by both Democratic and Republican elected officials. Mr. Corn raises an interesting question about our federal priorities. What do you think? Are our current federal budget priorities corrrect?
