Don't mess with Texas

[waterboy1]

Just a tidbit of info: The state of Texas has been lucky enough to be awarded 17 vehicles as of today. 10% of the vehicles to one state. Hummm, isn't this the Presidents home state. Really, Congrats to all of the winning depts as I am sure that the need is there. And again Good Luck to all of us that are still waiting.

I don't know about the Bush theory, because his brother Jeb's state, Florida, has only gotten 7 grants total to date.

1st round - 5
2nd round - 0
3rd round - 0
4th round - 1
5th round - 1

2 vehicles and 5 FF Ops/Safety

Now now, let's not start rumors. PA, NY, and TX were the top 3 states for applications, so the law of averages says that there will be more awards for these states over any other.

One of the great parts of being a software developer (nerd) is that I can churn out stuff in a matter of minutes. I created 2 reports of running totals. The first is a state by state listing, broken down into category, showing the total number of awards and total dollars per category. The second is a summary of the first, just state, number of awards, and total dollars. I'll keep updating these as rounds come out and posting them. They're Adobe Acrobat, so make sure you've got Reader.

The top 3 states for awards: NY (48), PA (47), TX & AR (40)
Top 3 for $$: PA (48 for $3.57mil), TX (40 for $3.12mil), TN (35 for $2.57mil)

Enjoy.
