WHO: Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-HI
WHAT: The cost of relocating 11,000 U.S. servicemen from Japan to Guam over the next five years will double to $20 billion, thanks to an amendment Abercrombie attached to the fiscal 2010 defense authorization bill. Abercrombie wants Guam construction workers to earn the same wages as those in Hawaii.
