Am I the only one sitting here with my jaw hanging on the ground?  My initial

reaction to Congressman Snyder's proposal is to ask one question:

IS HE OUT OF HIS MIND?  IS HE NOT FOLLOWING WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE 
EXISTING BRAC/FUDS SITES???  OR IS HE BUT NOT BELIEVING WHAT IS TRULY 
HAPPENING ON THEM?  

There is not enough money being funded through congress to cleanup what is 
out there now.  How does he propose to cleanup more of them?
