The Asbury Park Press is reporting that Congressmen Frank Pallone and Rush Holt, as well as Senators Frank Lautenberg and Bob Menendez are requesting that the Government Accountablity Office look into the process leading up to the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure commission's decision to close a number of Department of Defense research centers, particularly Fort Monmouth.
Governor Corzine should also step up on this issue. He should call on his old friend Harry Reid to save our fort, and he should rally the other Governors who's states are getting BRAC'd.
Senator Joe Kryillos should call the White House for help in undoing the BRAC scam. Kryillos and Senator Ellen Karcher should co-sponsor a Senate resolution supporting the GAO investigation. Assemblypersons Sean Kean, Jen Beck and Mike Panter should do the same in the Assembly.
The Monmouth County Board of Freeholders should pass a resolution supporting a GAO investigation.
Will our leaders rally the political will to undue BRAC scam? The answer to that question probably lies in the answer to the question, "Who benefits locally by the closure of Fort Monmouth?"
