Nation's governors worried about recruitment, jobs at home for
National Guard
DES MOINES, Iowa
The nation's governors -- meeting in Des Moines, Iowa -- are voicing
sharp worries for the National Guard troops they share with the
federal government.
Republican Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas says more attention must
be paid to the needs of guardsmen returning from overseas deployments,
especially younger members who need to find work.
Both Democrats and Republicans say they're concerned about recruitment
targets, benefits and job prospects.
They say changes caused by the huge demands placed on the Guard and
Reserves for the war in Iraq need more examination.
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty says he worries Guard and Reserves are
being strained to an uncomfortable level.
More than 250-thousand National Guard soldiers and airmen have been
mobilized for active duty since Nine-Eleven.
More than 30 governors are attending the National Governors
Association meeting.

This just in- The Bush Administration announced today that it would address the
governors' concerns regarding this issue by planning further tax cuts for
America's wealthy classes.
