Cutting Back on Chemical Weapon Clean Ups

The Pentagon is cutting the amount of money it'll spend to destroy stockpiled chemical weapons stored in Kentucky and Colorado. The Defense Department plans to spend only $31 million this year, split between Army depots in Richmond, Kentucky and Pueblo, Colorado. The Kentucky facility recieved $105 million last year. The Chemical Weapons Working Group claims each depot needs at least $140 million to do the job right. (Seattle P-I)
