Base Closing Update
I don't know how
this will play out, but Gov. Rendell in PA is making a similar claim with respect to the 111th Fighter Wing stationed at Willow Grove NAS.
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich put the Pentagon on formal notice Monday that he will not approve its proposed move of F-16 fighter aircraft from the 183rd Fighter Wing in Springfield to Indiana.
In a letter sent to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, the governor argued that under federal law if he does not consent to the realignment, the change can not legally be made.
