NORFOLK -- Sequestration could impact more than military families and shipyard workers.
?
Small businesses that rely on the military for income could also take a hit.
?
Rodney McKeithan is concerned that his barber shop, Custom Kutz, near Naval Station Norfolk could see a decline in business due to sequestration.
?
McKeithan bought the shop a couple years ago knowing that he would get a great deal of business from military personnel and civilians who work at the base.
?
"Any types of cuts down here being that we serve the majority anybody that comes down to the base it's definitely going to be felt, extremely," said McKeithan.
?
Governor McDonnell is urging immediate action to prevent looming cuts in federal defense spending.
?
The governor says Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads are at the greatest risk if the cuts are implemented, and could force Virginia and other states into a recession.
