Re: [CPEO-MEF] Boxer Opposes Closure Proposal

[StellaVB@aol.com]

Well put Ian!!!  I couldn't have said it better!  If I read 'between the 
lines' correctly, is this another way for Senator Boxer to win more votes?  
In saying this, I'd like to see Sen. Boxer's voting record regarding the 
closed bases in California and any legislative work she has done in regards 
to cleanup, obtaining more financial help (the budget is congressional 
mandated correct?) and anything else remotely close to resembling facts to 
back up her letter.  

I would also like to know how 'accessible' her and her staffers are to the 
stakeholders.  Sen. Murray and her Vancouver staff have been remarkable to 
the stakeholders in WA.  They always take phone calls and e-mails seriously. 

When I have asked for meetings with every and any 'key' players, they have 
always participated in making it happen.  For me personally, I have always 
found it a 'joy' to work with Sen. Murray's staff and to know that they are 
listening and taking serious the issues that are brought before them.
