Maryland's newspaper reports on NJ's efforts to halt base closing:
--------------------------------------------------
John P. Bellantoni, a 30-year logistics-management specialist at Fort
Monmouth, said most of the base workers do not need more information -
they're already being deluged with real estate ads and "glossy
pictorials, all rose pictures about Maryland." He isn't having any of
it.
"It's a very nice quality of life here on the Jersey Shore," Bellantoni
said in a telephone interview. "I live less than two miles from the
beach, very close to Asbury Park.
"Around here," he said, "you have so many more options, including,
frankly, safer cities than Baltimore."
