 <\/p>\n

Ohio — Dayton Daily News<\/a>: \u201cDayton regional leaders say they are worried the $61 million that Congress allocated last year for a new intelligence production center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base could be at risk of being spent instead on President Donald Trump\u2019s border wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

California — Sacramento Bee<\/a>: \u201cA big chunk of that could come from West Coast bases.
