This hearing will review the drastic cuts to homeland security grants proposed in the President’s Fiscal Year 2017 budget request. Subcommittee Members will hear first hand from stakeholders, including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and representatives from emergency management, law enforcement, the fire service, and fusion centers, about the impact of these cuts on their ability to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to terrorist attacks at a time when the threat to the United States is the highest since 9/11.
