At an annual Washington, D.C. meeting of the National Governors Association, Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie (D) warned that if sequestration goes into effect as it’s set to next week, Pearl Harbor would be less secure.
“The plain fact is that will undermine our capacity for readiness at Pearl Harbor,” he said, according to Yahoo News. “Now if that doesn’t symbolize for the nation that far from overstating it, it is zeroing in on a graphic example of what happens when we fail to meet our responsibilities congressionally, I don’t know what does.”
