The last time Homeland Security came to town, they told us all of our silly little questions would be answered in a magical document called an Environmental Impact Statement that would come out in early or mid-May.

It’s a month late, so I called Amy Kudwa at DHS to ask what gives. The department will release the EIS “in the next week or two,” Kudwa said, but she couldn’t be more specific. A third round of public hearings, including one in Athens, will be scheduled for July, she said.

No cause for alarm – the next time a government report comes out when it’s supposed to will be the first – but I just thought y’all might want to know.
