Coastal Journal staff
BRUNSWICK – In 2011, Brunswick Naval Air Station will finally close, and its hundreds of service members will transition from Brunswick, Maine to Jacksonville, Florida.

But the cost for closing the base have risen by $107 million since the initial estimate in 2005, to nearly $300 million.

But the real story wasn’t the 60-40 vote split, or the number of statewide delegates Obama received (15) compared to the number Clinton received (9), or even the potential crisis of confidence in the primary process that the superdelegates pose.
