Military families testified Wednesday about "slum-like" conditions in some privatized base housing that they allege contributes to disease and birth defects. Another military spouse, Janna Driver, testified Wednesday that she suffered from "constant sore throats, nose bleeds, brain fog, blurred vision numbness, fatigue, debilitating headaches." Thousands of military families have complained that the poor housing conditions, which some have called "slum-like," have led to disease and even birth defects. Contractors moved in, which seemed like a good deal for the government -- but some outraged military families argued the contractors have acted like slum lords. They included Lincoln, Balfour Beatty, Hunt, Corvias, Winn and Michael's Military Housing.
