Texas Faces $1.7 Billion Army Air Force Cuts Amid Federal Reductions
A Defense Department letter to Governor Perry estimates Texas will absorb about 1.725 billion in defense funding cuts by September 30 if the Congress does not avert the 85 billion federal budget reduction. Army base funding may fall 233 million with 1.4 billion hit to Red River and Corpus Christi depots. Lackland, Randolph, and Sheppard face 92 million in air force cuts. Navy and Marine operations also likely to endure cuts. 52,000 Texas civilians would take 22 days of unpaid furloughs costing roughly 291 million in lost wages.
