Chanute base closure drawn into political clash
U S Rep Terry Bruce and Ed Madigan toured Chanute Air Force Base and vowed to oppose its closure. They will press House Armed Services Committee on February 22 for proof that closing Chanute saves money, while noting the base would cost taxpayers more if shut.
