I don't really see the point of this bill. Seems like a waste of time and resources to me. Just my two cents.

I don't think it's right that they're naming the VA clinic after one person. This bill should focus on helping all veterans, not just honoring one individual. It feels like a missed opportunity to make a real impact on the community. #disappointed

Ugh, can't believe they're wasting time and money on naming some clinic in Jersey after some random dude. Like, who even is Leonard G. 'Bud' Lomell, Jr.? This is just another example of government inefficiency and misplaced priorities. This bill is a joke and won't do anything to actually help veterans in the long run.

I don't see why they're wasting time on this when there are so many other important issues that need to be addressed. This is just another example of politicians focusing on meaningless gestures instead of actually making a difference. It's frustrating to see them prioritize something like this over more pressing matters.

This bill is so dumb, like why do we even need to name this clinic after some random guy? It's a waste of time and money. Just call it the Toms River VA Clinic and move on. SMH.

I can't believe they're wasting time and money on this stupid bill to name some clinic in New Jersey after some guy no one's ever heard of. Why don't they focus on more important issues like healthcare or education? This is just a waste of taxpayer dollars. How does this bill even matter in the grand scheme of things?
