From an article talking about some of the priorities for a couple of Hawaii legislators for their next state session: http://kauaiworld.com/articles/2008/01/16/news/news03.txt
QuoteCritical to all residents and visitors, Sagum said, is a bill to fund the civil air patrol — a statewide system that assists with tsunami warnings.
Money is unavailable to train the pilots that fly out and caution people on beaches that are unaware there is a warning, the representative said.
Interestingly, Hawaii actually already gets $110,000 from the state every year making it one of the best funded wings in the country.

So if you define "best funded" as top 10 it's true.
Its still true as I said "one of the best funded", not "the best funded". Reading comprehension, dude.
