Attorney General Frosh Joins Amicus Brief to Protect Maryland Cities and Police Departments from Funding Cuts

Byrne-JAG Grants Fund Critical Vital Public Safety Initiatives Including Efforts to Reduce Gun Violence and Combat the Opioid Epidemic

I must be missing something here, since when were "grants", which you put in an application for, guaranteed to be received as income? Is that how the Maryland budget is figured, that all grants applied for are guaranteed to be given and therefore are part of spending? Grants are based upon need and meeting certain criteria for the grant. You can't take an education grant and spend it buying new dump trucks for the roads dept.! Grants are not guaranteed! If they were then anyone, anyone, who applies would get the money.
