next administration to award a disputed $35 billion contract to
build a new fleet of aerial refueling tankers.
Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., says the Pentagon has canceled the
latest round of bidding between Boeing Co. and Northrop Grumman
Corp. for the 179 planes, and now plans to hold a new competition
next year.
Northrop won the contract earlier this year, but the competition
was reopened after the Government Accountability Office found fault
with the decision.

Wentworth, most industry is built on the Gulf Coast you have transportation by land sea and air. From what I am hearing from you, you are probably from somewhere else and need to go back where you came from. We have so much industry and economical growth in Mobile you probably can’t handle it. Every city has their good and bad areas. So if you can’t handle the down home kick butt that has made our neck of the woods prosperous forever, go back where you came from, you don’t have to understand us because we sure don’t agree with you.
