NEW MEXICO'S MILITARY INSTALLATIONS MAY BE AT RISK IN LIGHT OF DEEP BUDGET CUTS AT THE PENTAGON. THAT FROM REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN STEVE PEARCE, WHO TELLS 770 KKOB STATES LIKE NEW MEXICO MAY BE AT A DISADVANTAGE. HE THINKS BIGGER STATES WILL WORK TO MOVE THE CUTS AWAY FROM THEM AND TOWARD STATES LIKE NEW MEXICO THAT DON'T HAVE AS MUCH REPRESENTATION.
PEARCE SAYS ANY BASE CLOSURES WOULD HAVE A DEVASTATING IMPACT ON NEW MEXICO, SINCE IT'S SO DEPENDENT ON THE MILITARY WHICH EMPLOYS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HERE.
