Last week we learned that in June 2008, President George W. Bush signed into law the Post-9/11 Veteran Educational Assistance Act, a next-generation GI Bill strongly supported by the American Legion. The bill renewed the federal government’s commitment to veterans by providing them with substantially better education benefits.

Last month, we wrapped up budget hearings with our largest state agencies and commissions. Our appropriations subcommittees are now working to craft our proposed agency budgets to present to the full Appropriations Committee in the next six weeks.
