Bill would force contractors to hire city residents [Published Baltimore Sun - May 12 2013]

The Army has tested a bunch of helicopters including the Lakota to see if they could meet its new scout chopper needs, Phillips told Wicker. "We didn't find a single aircraft that was out there that could meet the Army's requirements, he said. Wicker had a hard time accepting this assessment, and with billions at stake, I have a feeling he will continue to push a Lakota scout chopper on the Army, even though its not ready for combat. No wonder the Defense Department is going bust."
