Judge sides with Pa. in base closings suit
U.S. District Judge John R. Padova ruled that Pentagon does not have the authority to deactivate the 111th Fighter Wing of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard.
He sais that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should have gotten consent from Gov. Ed Rendell for the move.
The lawsuit didn't challenge the Pentagon's authority to close Willow Grove, only whether the federal government could deactivate the 111th Fighter Wing based there.
