BNAS closure cost balloons |
|
|
|
by Gina Hamilton
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. Its housing will stand empty, at least temporarily, and its great airport will be silent. The reason for the closure, it must be remembered, was to save money. But the cost for closing the base have risen by $107 million since the initial estimate in 2005, to nearly $300 million. The cost to close the base is greater than the amount the Department of Defense believed they would save by the closure ... some $222 million.

BATH - By now, everyone has heard the numbers ... during the Democratic caucuses on Sunday, Barack Obama walked away with 59% of the vote, to Hillary Clinton’s 40%. 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.
The real story is far more local, and therefore, more interesting.
