I believe, personally, that we are asking the Corps of Engineers to juggle too many priorities.
I do not see any leadership, yesterday or today, as far as submitting an honest proposal before Congress.
The Corps follows the money. They are seeing that $72.8 million, and they focus on fish and wildlife, and not flood control.
the administration didn't propose a budget for 2012. They really proposed a lot of pie in the sky, a pipe-dream concept paper for what you would love to see in a reauthorization bill.
