		WASHINGTON (AP) — The base closing commission voted Friday to keep open Air Force bases in South Dakota and New Mexico — rejecting the Pentagon's plans to close them — as the panel labored toward conclusion of a politically delicate task that has brought alternating sighs of relief and exasperation in communities across America.
		The panel found that closing Cannon, home to four F-16 fighter squadrons, would put a 20% dent in the local economy, costing the community almost 3,000 jobs on the base and as many as 2,000 more related jobs in the community near the New Mexico-Texas line.
		Air Force officials say their proposal as a whole is designed to make the service more effective by consolidating both weapons systems and personnel as the force moves to a smaller but smarter aircraft fleet.
