[Loyal Buckeye]

Not to be argumentative, but why is GWB holding up funding (assuming he is the one doing so)? Are you suggesting he is ill-informed, being disingenuous or something else? I would suggest that there is a solid reason for him to be against that proposed legislation and/or an immediate commitment to huge funding. Also, I stand by my comment that he is not the only one not out in front on a funding proposal; Congress is not being vocal about it, unless I have missed it.

He may have valid reasons for holding up the funding and not supporting the Baker bill. It's a complex piece of legislation. Where I do think he is beind disingenuous is in saying Louisiana didn't have a plan. The Baker bill was a huge part of that plan. If he objects to the plan then say so but to say we didn't have one is not correct.
