A San Antonio ambulatory hospital's construction is in jeopardy after the Senate Appropriations Committee cut $80 million in funding from the construction project, according to a San Antonio Express-News report.
Before the Senate removed funding for the military hospital project, the House passed a military construction bill that would have allocated $161 million for the hospital's construction. The hospital was planned to provide outpatient services for members of the armed forces, veterans and family members, according to the news report.
The funding cut, which affected other military construction projects, drew criticism from the Obama administration and local lawmakers. The full Senate will vote on the military construction bill as soon as this week, according to the news report.
