Flint PD federal dollars could be spent 1 of 2 ways
Money may go toward in-car cameras or 800-MHz communications system
Federal money headed to Flint Police Department may be spent in one of two ways - 3/16/09 - Flint News and Saginaw News - abc12.com

Flint just refuses to exit the 1970's and upgrade their radio system. My favorite line of that story is "Police say no one in this part of the state is utilizing conventional radio anymore for public safety." That sums up the entire city in a nutshell.

The motion passed in the Senate too, just needs President Obama's signature now.
