The Public Record
Certainly, Hawaii is a State where there is a huge military presence as well as many veterans.
I want to commend all of you for your commitment in helping our servicemembers, veterans and their families
So, if we pursue a remedy such as requiring that the G.I. Bill loans be included in the 90 percent, that would take away the incentive for some of these bad actors from targeting veterans?
That is what makes a program like the EPA's Brownfield program so important.
The Brownfields Program definitely does have bipartisan support, not only the existing program but amendments to improve the program.
However, as Americans we believe in second chances and renewal--those are critical themes in our economic history for both individuals and communities.
I hope that today's hearing will serve to make the case for strong, cooperative, bipartisan action.
