Governors and state officials are pushing for the release of nearly $87 million in unpaid federal anti-terrorism funds, arguing the money was allocated but never distributed. The funds were intended to support security measures and emergency preparedness following past federal allocations. Lawmakers claim the delay has left critical infrastructure and local agencies underfunded, raising concerns about public safety. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between state governments and federal authorities over financial accountability in national security efforts.
