Four Days Is A Long Time in Memphis

On the 23rd, the Commercial Appeal ran an article describing Mayor Herenton's idea for an income tax to pay for badly needed new police officers. Today, they ran an article detailing accusations of mismanagement at the local Homeland Security office. How come no one's suggesting we use the HS grant money to pay for the police? Is it just assumed that money is slated to be misappropriated, or is it because the CA hasn't been properly incentivized?

To be a little bit fair, the Tri-State Defender isn't the Commercial Appeal, but the CA's website did run a nice ad for Mark White right above his comments accusing his opponent of buying favorable coverage from the TSD. So, how big of an ad would Memphians have to buy?
