Philadelphia gets $43 million for DNC security

[onehandle]

The City of Philadelphia received official confirmation this week that it will be getting $43 million from the federal government to cover security costs during the Democratic National Convention.

The money will go towards personnel and overtime costs as well as a variety of supplies ranging from public safety radios to motorcycle helmets and extension cords. The city also plans to spend half-million dollars on private security to help local law enforcement.
