Reuters reveals tech woes will delay around $3 bln in U.S. Justice Dept grants

Reuters’ Sarah Lynch broke the news that technological glitches will cause the U.S. Justice Department to be late in paying out around $3 billion in grants that fund programs such as victims services and criminal justice research. The problems are delaying more than half of the criminal justice grants to municipalities, states, research institutions and nonprofits that the department would normally award by the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.
