Case asks Congress to fund Big Island ordnance clean-up
The

reports
that "The Hawaii Congressional delegation will
be asking Washington to fully fund the $600 million price of removing all
unexploded ordnance from the U.S. military's former training camp and artillery
range in West Hawaii. 'Our military needs places where they can train fully to
protect our country, but when they've completed their mission it's only right
that they clean up and assure that those of us that come after them can use the
land safely,' said Rep. Ed Case, announcing Thursday that he had made this
request his top priority for Hawaii defense-related projects in the next federal
budget."
