Lingle urged to get Bush backing for Akaka bill


Reps. Case and Abercrombie appear to be squabbling with Gov. Lingle over whose responsibility it is to put energy where to win support for the Akaka bill. Abercrombie and Case are saying that at the end of the session last year the Bush administration "sent a signal to block a provision inserted in an appropriations bill" when they tried to sneak it through that way. Abercrombie says Lingle may be putting her energy into the congressional vote-getting campaign because she's "not able to deliver" the White House support. The Advertiser has the story.
