‘Fiscal cliff’ across-the-board budget cuts could impact Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
(FROM DAYTON DAILY NEWS) Frustration is mounting among defense officials about the lack of information on how across-the-board budget cuts could impact Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Ohio defense contractors, U.S. Sen. Rob Portman said.
The White House Office of Management and Budget last week told the Pentagon to begin planning for sequestration, an expected average of a 9.4-percent across-the-board reduction to most defense programs.
Those key assets, among others, include the Air Force Research Laboratory, the post-graduate school Air Force Institute of Technology, and the 711th Human Performance Wing, home to the Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, Portman said.
