Pentagon diverts $1 billion from barracks improvements to send troops to border
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – The Pentagon is diverting $1 billion from army barracks upkeep and maintenance funds to send more troops to the Southern border. In their fiscal plan for the rest of 2025, the Pentagon has decided to move over a billion dollars from Facilities, Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization, a fund that is primarily used for barracks upgrades, to fund President Trump's border mission. The Pentagon has the discretion to move around some funds between accounts as long as that money has already been appropriated by Congress through a process called reprogramming. 'To kind of go back to this old mantra of the military that we have to just suffer the whole time is kind of disappointing and disheartening, especially when we saw some progress moving forward to go away from that,' John Hartman, a veteran who was stationed at Fort Stewart until 2019 and now lives in Savannah said. The Government Accountability Office released a scathing report in 2023 identifying unsafe and unsanitary conditions in barracks around the country. WSAV reported exclusively on some of the poor conditions in the barracks at our own Fort Stewart. 'The desperation and the depression that's caused by the barracks and the housing,' one soldier living in the Fort Stewart barracks at the time said. Now, the Pentagon is diverting $1 billion of the money that was meant to go toward fixing barracks issues. 'Issues with washing machines not working, mold, stuff like that, ACs going out. It's Fort Stewart, that happening in the middle of the summer is brutal, especially when you've been outside all day in the heat working,' Hartman said of the conditions during his time at the installation. Even staunch Trump administration supporter Rep. Buddy Carter (GA-01) has advocated for balance. 'I've been to visit the barracks at Hunter Army Airfield, at Fort Stewart. I will tell you they are in need of repair,' he said. 'Sending money to the southern border is not a bad thing. It's a good thing, but at the same time, we can do both.' Rep. Carter said he's a proponent of replacing the funds with a provision in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' making its way through Congress. However, that bill has not been passed, and the funding is not guaranteed. 'It doesn't matter whether it comes back or not. There's still going to be backlog. There's still going to be expenses that pile up. At the end of the day, you're just kind of digging a deeper hole,' Hartman said. 'It's a complicated situation, but the answer is not taking such a large amount of funding away from bettering the lives of our service members to push it toward this other issue.'

County estimates nearly $700M in capital projects
CHATHAM COUNTY, Ga. (WSAV) – Chatham County officials estimate nearly $700 million dollars in capital projects, and they are hoping a new round of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) funds will help cover the cost. County and city leaders are in the home stretch to make sure SPLOST VIII makes it onto the Nov. 4 ballot. WSAV spoke with commissioner Aaron Whitely about the process. 'Without a special local option sales tax, we would be depending solely on property taxes to fund this,' he said. 'So that's why you'll hear folks such as myself encouraging people to vote for SPLOST because it helps us keep our costs down.: The county has held several town halls about the funding, and he said top priorities he is hearing from the community is affordable housing, roadway repairs and drainage improvements. Several municipalities are also working together to finalize a list of projects they want to prioritize within this budget. 'So as far as some local projects, areas that are going to see that you'll see I think is Quacco Road and Little Neck Road might be somewhere, stormwater drainage, especially on the westside…' Whitely said. He continued, 'but from a county perspective, another one of our big focuses is getting our regional athletic facility done as it will serve as an economic stimulus for that area on the south side, as well as another space that is centrally located for recreation. Whitely also responded to residents who may be skeptical about voting yes in November. 'To my neighbors, you are already currently paying this one penny,' he said. 'All we're asking is to continue it so that we can continue to build our county for the growth that we are experiencing.' Commissioners will hold a workshop on June 18 at 4:30 p.m. to review the project list. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ayotte signs ‘parental bill of rights' bill into law in N.H., fulfilling key GOP goal
Protesters gathered in the hallway outside of Ayotte's office ahead of the signing to express their opposition to the bills. Advertisement The parental bill of rights, Get N.H. Morning Report A weekday newsletter delivering the N.H. news you need to know right to your inbox. Enter Email Sign Up It states that, 'All parental rights are reserved to the parents of a minor child in this state without obstruction or interference from any school.' Under the new law, a parent can bring a lawsuit against the school for relief and monetary damages if they believe their parental rights have been violated. Advertisement The law is also meant to require new notifications to parents about their rights. It requires school boards to post a copy of the parental bill of rights on their website and in their school handbook, in addition to developing policies to promote parental involvement and establish procedures so parents can object to instructional materials. 'I am glad to sign it as a mom of two children, and I can tell you that as I look at the children who are here today, there's nothing more important for the future of New Hampshire than our children,' Ayotte said. The bill includes a new mandatory disclosure provision that has sparked controversy. The measure requires school personnel to provide 'accurate, truthful, and complete disclosure regarding any and all matters related to their minor child' within 10 business days if an immediate answer cannot be provided. That measure has drawn criticism from LGBTQ and civil liberties advocates, who said it could require educators to forcibly 'out' children to their parents. 'Politicians likewise chose to insert themselves in conversations between young people, their parents, and teachers, by passing bills that would require teachers to reveal a student's gender or sexuality, rather than suggest a conversation between the parent and their student,' said Linds Jakows, the founder of 603 Equality, in a statement calling on Ayotte to veto HB 10. Democrats have also raised concerns over language in the bill that they said would raise the bar for reporting child abuse to 'clear and convincing evidence.' Deb Howes, president of the AFT-NH, a teacher's union, shared those concerns. 'Most of the things are already in state law, but one thing this bill does is it changes standards for reporting abuse and standards for DCYF to act on it,' she said. Advertisement 'There are going to be instances where you're putting children in danger,' she said. Republicans have argued the bill will not impact reporting of child abuse, and they have celebrated the passage of the legislation, which was among their priorities. 'Gone are the days of parents being purposefully and vindictively kept in the dark and lied to when they inquire and voice their concerns about their children,' said Representative Deb DeSimone, an Atkinson Republican and chair of the House Children and Family Law Committee in a statement ahead of the bill signing. 'HB 10 affirms that parents have a voice and the ultimate say in their children's education, cementing that parents and teachers are partners in education.' House Majority Leader Jason Osborne called the advancement of both bills 'major victories.' 'These aren't just policy wins—they're proof of what happens when we hold the line and play hard-nosed, disciplined ball,' he said in a statement last week after the Legislature sent the bills to Ayotte's desk. Ayotte also signed 'As a mom, I can't think of anything more important than making sure that every child in this state has the opportunity to reach his or her full potential in the setting that works best for them in terms of education,' Ayotte said on Tuesday.
