From the
Clovis News Journal - Gov. Bill Richardson believes New Mexico always needs to be ready to defend itself for a Base Realignment and Closure round, but Cannon Air Force Base is in good shape. Regarding Cannon Air Force Base, he thought the transition to Air Force Special Operations Command will serve the base well when an inevitable BRAC round comes. “There will be another BRAC round,” said Richardson, who took part in the state-wide effort to save Cannon from a 2005 closure recommendation. “I believe Cannon Air Force Base is really strong. It’s increasing jobs in the area, it’s going to have more functions, it’s growing. I would say the Air Force and the military will recommend it not be shut down. We have four bases in New Mexico, so we have to remain vigilant.”
