Oops I forgot one:

Brunswick Air station- Is that going to close with the first or second military base downsizing.

Portsmouth Naval Station- ditto above.

I hope the EX Gov King Enjoys his cross country jaunt in his new RV, He'll come back just in time to witness the next mass exodus on Mainers.

Brunswick is unlikely to close, since it is the last base to cover the North Atlantic and it has little air traffic, so great for training. Portsmouth is another story. It was going to be closed back in the early 70s, but politics kept it open and may do so again. Snow and Collins are the key. Good chip to play for their votes.

The closings will be more jobs lost. You should have seen the devestation to our economy in Aroostook County when Loring Air Force Base closed up here! The area is STILL trying to recover, and it's been 8 years! Hard on us retirees, too, let me tell ya!
