Of the guvMINT wastes money here too - the DHS showers grants around like confetti at a parade:
—$21 for a fish tank in Seguin, Texas, a small town outside of San Antonio.
—$98,000 for an underwater robot in Columbus, Ohio, where there are no major rivers and few lakes nearby.
—$24,000 for a "latrine on wheels" in Fort Worth, Texas.
—A "BearCat" armored vehicle bought with a $285,933 grant in Keene, N.H., a small New England town that is home to an annual pumpkin festival that draws up to 70,000 people.
—$250,000 for security upgrades, including $9,000 in signage, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis
