Governor says Portsmouth air base an uncertain hope
Gov. Hugh Gregg told Hampton residents that completing the limited Portsmouth Air Force Base remains more hope than certainty with a $10,000,000 partial build.

He tied last month’s $46,000,000 postponement to air base opponents and suggested Plattsburg could replace Portsmouth in future plans.
