Editorial: Don't Be Hasty

An editorial in the Mountain View Voice warns, "Let's not be Hasty on Hangar One":

… options will probably fall by the wayside … if the Navy continues on its present course toward demolition. Possibly sensing that Hangar One will forever be a thorn in their side if it is not dealt with now, officials seem to be quickly narrowing their options until the simplest—demolition—appears to be inevitable.

Two years ago, Sen. Barbara Boxer and Congresswoman Anna Eshoo wrote a letter to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, urging the Navy to "adopt a long-term remediation plan that allows Hangar One to be preserved," because, they said, "It is an important historical landmark in Silicon Valley." We hope the Navy remembers that letter, and takes its advice to heart, during these next crucial weeks.
