Key lawmaker supports scrapping VH-71
Rep. Gene Taylor, chair of the House Armed Services Seapower and Expeditionary Forces subcommittee, said he supports scrapping the VH-71 Presidential helicopter program.

"If the president can wait, I can wait," Taylor said in a short interview with The Hill. "We have to put the money where the priorities are."

Taylor's comments are likely to put him on a collision course with defense appropriators who are weighing the possibility of salvaging the VH-71.
