U.S. spending bill far short of sum sought for Trump NYC security

By Mark Hosenball WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Republican-led panel in the U.S. House of Representatives agreed on Tuesday to add $7 million to a short-term federal spending bill to reimburse New York authorities for President-elect Donald Trump's security costs, far short of the $35 million requested by the city's congressional delegation. New York's U.S. lawmakers were quick to express their unhappiness. "I am extremely disappointed that the Continuing Resolution to fund the federal government does not fully reimburse the people of New York for the unprecedented security costs incurred to keep the President-elect and his family safe between the election and his inauguration," U.S. Democratic Representative Carolyn Maloney said in a statement.
