My home airport is on the list for closing, and to be frank the Airport is dam near a ghost town most of the time, the last numbers they have is 38,000 movements for the year. The last airline to have service to it, quit in 1989. The tower should have been closed years ago. As another poster has stated, its not a cut just a cut in spending increases. Be he said he was going to make it as painful as possible because he is not getting his way. The Federal Government is FUBAR. Out of ever dollar they spend they borrow 47 cents. This nonsense that got people in a not amounts to 2.4 cents out of a dollar. with my current income, unemployed it would be if I spent 12 dollars less than I do now. That is not even enough avgas to taxi to the end of the runway from the base of the tower! Its all BS.
