The Primary Reason Why the Army Corps of Engineers Needs Reform
- "The primary reason the Army Corps of Engineers needs reform is that many projects are approved with bogus justification by federal legislators in order to send pet projects to their home states even if they are environmentally damaging. Frequently, funding for the Corps through the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) is more about how and where the money is spent than what is accomplished." - excerpt from Surfrider Foundation's Coastal A-Z article on the Army Corps of Engineers and WRDA.
