That's everywhere, Dave. Around here they're sweating the defense cuts. They've finally realized just how dependent they are on the government teet. They Mayor of Norfolk stated that defense spending alone accounts for ~45% of his cities tax revenues. Newport News stated defense and other federal spending related tax revenues at ~37%. This place will drop like a rock if the cuts are deep enough.
