BRAC, Forest Park
Chicago Tribune (Ryan Keith) quotes our governor.
Do you feel at risk?
Instead of wasting time with the pro-forma objections to bases closing and getting realigned--they don't call it the "base realignment and closure" commission for nothing--could Mayor Calderone, Governor Blagojevich, Congressman LaHood and Congressman Kirk get together and make a deal to move the Forest Park Reserve Center 2 1/2 miles?
This would be a big win for Forest Park. It seems doable. Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness, right?
"Taking the F-16s out of Springfield would compromise our ability to protect the people of Illinois and will impact the safety and security of the entire Midwest," Blagojevich said in a statement.

I'm sorry I couldn't help ridiculing Blagojevich. I guess he thinks his over-the-top rhetoric proves he's serious about security... sorta like voting for the Iraq War.
