Akaka Bill Hidden Deep Inside?

Associated Press - December 9, 2010
In the Senate, Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye, D-Hawai`i, backed by Democratic leaders, has fashioned an omnibus spending measure — providing almost $20 billion more than the House bill — that he wants to substitute for the measure being passed across the Capitol.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., opposes Inouye's move, but GOP members of the Appropriations Committee, such as Senators Thad Cochran of Mississippi and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, are open to the idea.

    Ehu,

    This is so scary, if we place  Nuclear isotopes or continue to allow this practice in the Pacific what choices do we have?

     

    "The House bill also contains $624 million to implement the nuclear weapons treaty with Russia, known as New START, that's pending before the Senate.

    There's also $7 billion in new loan guarantees to help utilities construct new nuclear power plants."

    It is the Democrat Party that will benefit from the AKaKa BILL. Especially now with Governor Abercrombie. Governor Abercrombie has always been a stronger supporter of the AKaKa BILL.
    Hawaiian National, o Pomaikaiokalani
