U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan says the government owes Marines who are suffering health problems that are possibly related to contaminated tap water on Camp Lejeune.
Hagan, a Greensboro Democrat, was quoted in a CNN segment about the health problems, which include as many as 40 cases of men with breast cancer. Hagan's office has been pushing the issue in recent weeks. She is a co-sponsor of a bill with Sen. Richard Burr, a Winston-Salem Republican, of a bill that would extend Department of Veterans Affairs benefits to anyone affected by the water.
"I think they have worked their entire careers, successfully completing the mission that they were asked to start. And I think it should be our mission to give them complete answers on the water contamination issues. And if we stop now, our mission will not be accomplished," Hagan said.

Re: Hagan: Marines deserve answers
It is apparent that there is a group of GOP operatives on the Dome whose full time job is to make negative comments about all Democrats. I can only assume you must get paid by the post; because even postive posts, about which there is no basis to attack, are turned into another negative comment.
