Earl Pomeroy: “As members prepare for this historic vote, I would like to say that I take this matter as seriously as any issue I have…”

We want this base used, and used actively. It has a long history of playing an important role in our Nation's defense structure.

The thing that really gets me about all the work we've done is we have another lake rise of 2-3 feet bringing a new host of problems that only get more difficult.

I believe that when it is a securitized issue spread around with no remote concept of insurable interest, you raise profound questions about whether or not this tax incentive ought to apply anymore.

That makes sense to me, contrary to what we heard last week.
