And what position do you hold " in the loop"
I'm not "in the loop" there Art, just like you.

When I worked as Public Works Liaison, I coordinated much of the fact
gathering for BRAC, so I'm familiar with their selection criteria.

And I've been around Public Works Facilities and Planning Departments long
enough to know how the contractual process works. Current construction is a
look into the past and is no prediction of the future.

If you doubt my words, look at what happened at NAS Barbers Point. They
dumped millions (of YOUR tax dollars and mine) into a new Exchange, new
housing, new Commissary, (and many other projects I cannot recall) and then
closed the base. Today it sits less than 1/4 utilized.

I'm sure you don't want to see Nellis closed. I'm not questioning what you
heard. Just don't get all wrapped up in the Colonel's little propaganda. He
is not making the decision whether or not to close the base.

I'm only pointing out how BRAC works.
