Did I miss something? The grant that I heard Boston was going after had a caveat that if a manufacturer was under any type of government assistance, they got preference on the contract. Last check showed some new company out of PA with a HUGE SBA loan to be the preferred builder. Kinda the same thing as NYC being forced to buy all those Gran Furys in the late 70's and 80's. FAST or FIRES, or something like that was the name. I also heard Boston might back off trying to get the grant because of this.
Reliable source, but he's been wrong before
