Local News: Patty in Southwest Washington

Murray hears VA worries, progress

"'Two years ago we were looking at this facility being closed,'' she said after the session. 'Today it is not closed.''

But she said the federal administration has failed to include any money for progress on the issue in the VA's proposed budget. She intends to continue the fight in Washington, D.C., she said.

"Their budget comes to us with not one dollar in it to move forward on this process,'' Murray said. "They need to put their money where their mouth is.''
