(Rock Island, IL) -- A move that could cost 400 Quad Cities jobs is sacrificing effectiveness for perceived efficiency.
That's what Davenport Mayor and Chairman of the Rock Island Arsenal Defense Alliance Mike Matson told those gathered for a press conference yesterday about a U.S. Army consolidation plan to merge two major commands on the Arsenal.
The group is inviting federal officials to come tour the island and discuss the plan before any moves are made.
They're also asking Quad Citians to sign a petition in support of the Arsenal.
