Blankenbush Thankful Ft. Drum Is Spared
Statement from Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush (R,C,I-Black River) on the Army’s announcement on Ft. Drum personnel
July 9, 2015
“I am encouraged that the Army is sparing Ft. Drum from major cuts. It highlights how our community banded together with leadership, including Maj. Gen. Bannister, Congresswoman Stefanik, and my state legislative colleagues, to make the case that Ft. Drum is vital to our country’s defense strategy. I am disappointed for any loss of jobs in the North Country and will continue to work hard to show our support for Ft. Drum.”
