Sen. Chuck Schumer had some harsh words for Homeland Security today regarding its plan to cut coast guard counter-terror patrols from NY’s shores. “If there was ever a plan that was penny wise and pound foolish, this is it," said the senior senator, calling the 90-member unit the city’s “eyes and ears.” Obama’s budget called for the patrol to be consolidated and transferred to Boston, but, said Schumer "If they're going to consolidate, they should consolidate in New York, since we, of course, are a much greater terror threat than Boston." The unit was established after 9/11 to patrol New York Harbor, reports NY1. Schumer threatened that if the administration doesn't reconsider, he'll block the proposal.
