CONGRESSMAN DAVID SCOTT ANNOUNCES FUNDS FOR NEWTON SHERIFF DEPT.
Today, Congressman David Scott (GA-13) announced funding for a project in Newton County. The project was included in the bill funding the U.S. Departments of State, Justice, and Commerce, and other agencies for Fiscal Year 2006. The Newton County Sheriff’s Department will receive $50,000 for technology upgrades.
“I am pleased to be able to provide the Newton County Sheriff’s Department with assistance in improving their law enforcement technology,” Congressman Scott said. “Given the extremely tight budget situation in Washington, it is an accomplishment to be able to secure funding for important projects for the residents of Newton County. I salute the men and women who serve in the Sheriff’s Office.” The FY 2006 spending bill was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives today. It must now be signed into law by the President. |
