Hawai'i along with Alaska, Washington, Oregon andCalifornia will each get $50,000 in tsunami debris clean-up money.
Its part of a $25,000,000 grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to deal with debris from last year's tsunami in Japan.
That amount is not sitting well with everyone.
Senator Mark Begich of Alaska quickly deemed the amount "woefully inadequate."
The democrat says $50,000 is not even enough to clean up one beach.
He has requested at least $45,000,000 in funding.

Commentary: That amount of money may really not be sufficient to clean up the lingering debris coming from Japan's tsunami from last year. The complete total to actually clean up all that mess that comes floating in may be higher than people think.
