Going over some old notes and this phrase always struck a
little nerve. This is from an alderman
trying to make the airport tenants appear to be some really badass people. It is not stated directly but in the heat of
the moment and the position of the alderman, it is easy to get a take on this
that the alderman thinks the tenants have almost committed a crime against
humanity.
I do not know how you guys or
anybody can file complaints at a federal level that destroys a community, but
that is what has happened. To our City I apologize, I do not know what else to
do; our hands are tied because of a small group of hobbyists. Administrator
Childers stated the hangar rent issues needs to be resolved and in order to do
that he needs a motion from the board to change the rates, if they so choose.
The city broke the law and they got caught, plain and
simple. The alderman should apologize
for what they did. They should apologize
for the incompetency they displayed in the management of this airport that was
donated to the city for the benefit of and paid for by the aviation
public. This issue started in 2008; it
took the city five years to rectify this situation.
The alderman refers to the complaint that destroys the
community. The actions of the city
council destroyed the community, their actions warranted the complaint. What is so hard to understand is that they
thought they were justified. It displays
a complete disregard for the law by a municipal government that is very
disturbing.
