Friday, May 26, 2006 House Approves Anti Base Closure Bill
The Journal Record
OKLAHOMA CITY – An appropriation expected to be $1 million to help military communities avoid base realignments was approved Thursday by the House by a vote of 98-0 and now moves to the governor’s desk.
Senate Bill 1675, by state Sen. Randy Bass, D-Lawton, and state Rep. Don Armes, R-Faxon, would place additional funding in the “Oklahoma Strategic Military Planning Commission Incentive Fund,” which allows communities that are home to military bases to apply for matching grants for infrastructure and road improvements.
The fund was created last year after the federal government’s latest round of the base realignment and closure process.
