Thom Hart: Pols not responsible for Arsenal cuts, prevented closure

In an interview airing as I type, Thom Hart, chairman of the Quad City Development Group, the primary lobbying group in preserving the R.I. Arsenal, says that blaming local politicians for the cuts at the Arsenal would be "inappropriate."

Talking on "Perspectives with Susan Peters" on WQPT, Hart goes further, saying that without years of help and hard work from Lane Evans, Jim Nussle, and other local legislators, the Arsenal likely would have been closed by now.

What do you say to that, Andrea?
