Both women contended there’s still a lot of work to do to keep the tower open before Sunday’s deadline hits and said they would work with the rest of the New Hampshire delegation to try to prevent it from happening.

“I think it’s clearly an issue of safety that we’re all concerned about, No. 1,” Kuster, a Democrat, said. “And No. 2, the economic impact with loss of jobs right here, but more importantly the broader impact.”
