Some Pa State senators call the current State Police  Open Sky  radio 
system a waste of up to a billion dollars.
The following link has the testimony from last year. Interesting comments  
at 11;00 Minutes and 27:30 minutes,39;00 minutes and 46;00 minutes.

Fast forward to this year and the issues are still not resolved. State  
officials in the early 2000's decided against a project which works with  all 
systems, Project 25 "modulation". Instead they picked the Open Sky system  
which only work with equipment supplied by one company.  No possible way to  
have other radio companies bid on the replacement radios.

Interesting testimony on 1 hour and 30 minutes and again at one hour and 50 
minutes.
