NONE OF THE PILOTS AT THE AIRPORT LIVE IN ST CLAIR

This phrase has become the war cry of the city and the newspaper.  It has been used as a reason to enforce the idea that the airport should go away.  It has been used without an explanation.  What difference does it make to anyone where airport tenants live?   The FAA has regulations against residency preferential treatment, when it comes to Federally Funded Airports.  But then, no one that lives in St. Clair would know that.   The continued publishing of this phrase is intended to do one thing, to make the tenants of the airport appear as bad people.   The tenants are costing the taxpayer’s money.   It is an attempt to divert attention from what the city is doing to destroy the airport, and place blame on the tenants.   But like Adolf said, “If you are going to lie, make it big, simple, and repeat it over and over, and eventually people will believe it.”

But the best thing about this phrase is that its finger points in every direction.  Rumors and I repeat RUMORS are that Ron Blum has moved to Sullivan, with all the other previous airport tenants.  If you can come up with something as stupid as “you don’t have to pay taxes on it if you don’t use it”, this should produce something even better. 

Comments by the city administration like we have seen over the airport, and the personal property issue, go to show the Ron Blum must have a very low opinion of the intelligence of his constituents to think that everyone will believe this crap.  But then everyone knows that Ron is smarter than everyone else.
