Brian Schatz: “OHA supports Chairman Schatz's PLACE Act, introduced last Congress.”

Hurricanes and floods and tornadoes and fires don’t pick and choose their targets based on how the last election went.

We’re all paying the price for our inaction.

Thousands of brave service members from Hawai‘i put their lives on the line to serve our country. This federal funding will help us improve and maintain Veterans Cemetery No. 2 in Hilo so we can continue to honor their legacies.

Congress passed a law to invest in saving lives, protecting the American people, and advancing our interests abroad; it did not hand Trump a checkbook to spend on whatever he pleases while blocking funding for everything else.
