Chet Edwards Statement on Administration Cuts in School Impact Aid
 

“I find it inconceivable that the White House Budget Office would still insist on trying to cut School Impact Aid for the children of our military personnel, even while we have thousands of men and women deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Put this together with the Administration’s $1.5 billion budget cuts for military family housing, barracks, day care and health care facilities and the message this Administration is sending to our troops is: “When you’re defending us in combat, God bless you. But, when you come home, God help you.”
