Judge Blocks Air Force Transfer From Richards Gebaur
U S District Judge Elmo B Hunter prohibited moving the Air Force communications unit from Richards Gebaur Air Force Base near Kansas City to Scott Air Force Base near St Louis. The ruling cites inadequate environmental impact assessment and social economic effects on personnel and housing. The decision, appealable to the 8th U S Circuit and Supreme Court, delays the transfer and requires a full environmental review. The suit was led by Mr and Mrs Robert L McDowell with Local 211-27 and Jackson County officials, arguing housing, schools, transportation, and recreation would worsen for affected personnel.
