The mayors of Fairbanks and Anchorage have filed formal objections to the Air Force's plan to move a squad of F-16s from Eielson AFB in Fairbanks to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage.
Fairbanks would lose around 1,000 jobs, and Anchorage has two complaints. Increased noise levels in its Mountain View neighborhood nearest the base are a major concern, and there's something else: a shortage of some 150 housing units that would be needed.

Governor Sean Parnell is expected to make a statement opposing the move, as well.
URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)
