City announces $400,000 anti-gang grant
Mayor Pat Morris' office announced today that the city has been awarded a $400,000 state grant for anti-gang programs.
The money is set to be disbursed under Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's program called Califronia Gang Reduction, Intervention and Prevention initiative.
The city's announcement reports that the grant will be funneled to Catholic Charities and Urban Youth Conservation Corps, which are slated to use the funds in cooperation with the city's Operation Phoenix program.
Catholic Charities is expected to use its portion of the funding in an attempt to reduce recidivism among 50 18- to 25-year old youths with gang ties.
Urban Youth Conservation Corps is set to use the grant to assist 20 "at risk" young people aged 12 to 17 in a program that includes training in forestry management and tree care in the San Bernardino National Forest and San Bernardino city parks.

another large waste of money...regardless if its from a grant...a gift or fell out of a tree...the cities free day care center will be up and running full steam..while the rest of the city goes down the toilet...will San Bernardino evry be anything but a third world city....probably for the forseeable future....oh but wait...if the mayor and his lackeys get their way they'll have new office digs to memorialize themselves with along side the freeway when they partner up with the county and the San Manuels....a small postage sized piece of S.B...the abandoned city hall will look great next to the abandoned hotel....things never change in the bowels of the Inland Empire
