Los
Angeles Air Force Base Update
Tony Dauer, December 28, 2004
 Do
NOT lose an important community asset such as the AIR FORCE BASE by
doing nothing about it. If this base were to close, it is not just
a minor part of this area. The "domino" effect would go FAR beyond
this minor change in real estate. Many of the companies might move
away that feed tax money into the Wiseburn School District (ours),
and this would lower the money our school district gets, causing
cuts in staff and programs. We WILL be getting more students due to
the yet to be built apts. on our north end, and more town homes that
Hawthorne will have on Aviation, south of Rosecrans. It would be
nice if some, or parts of either of these could be used for SENIOR
housing, making for less traffic and less children that would need
our schools. Otherwise our schools will need expansion and/or more
buildings.
Check out the Daily Breeze
article in the Tuesday paper on page A 11, (click thumbnail above to
view article) that clearly explains how to help. Call 916 323-5485
BY JAN 9th, to be on a list of speakers. The meeting will be at the
Hacienda Hotel, 525 N. Sepulveda in El Segundo City. Be ready to
explain why the base is important to our community--personally,
jobs, convenience of ready location here in the heart of an
aerospace and defense companies, etc. No matter how you voted, don't
let this important asset be relocated to a "red" state because we
didn't appreciate what we have!
Do we have any veterans
out there who use the base?
I hate to think of what would happen if the base and nearby
companies moved away. What could replace them?
