The Dems Weave Their Economic Magic Again!

Do we know how to handle money or what?
Democrats' Security Comes in Under Budget

BOSTON - Law enforcement agencies spent less than $40 million of the $50 million appropriated by Congress for security at the Democratic National Convention, officials said Friday.

"We expect that the cost will be significantly less than the $50 million," Boston Police Commissioner Kathleen O'Toole said at a news conference flanked by officials from the state police, Secret Service, Boston Fire Department, EMS and other agencies.

The latest estimate for the security costs is between $35 million and $40 million, O'Toole said, although the final amount has not been tallied.
