From
the Jan 7th council meeting
Mayor
Blum asked if there were any other items the Board would like to discuss, but
it would be his recommendation to the Board that we once again do what they ask
us to do, we have done this all along, and at some point there has to be foul
cried on our part, we are doing everything they are asking us to do,
Including
this here.
On
May 21st, 2013 the Feds came back with this.
In order to
address the remaining questions relating to Item 4, any future Air Evac leases
should reflect a similar percentage increase in the base monthly rate to the
increases experienced by other tenants from 2007-2013 pursuant to Title 49
United States Code Section 47107. In the alternative, the City should provide
its cost allocation methodology for its rental rates. This methodology should
be consistent with the FAA’s Rates and Charges Policy.
Also included in
the 12/21/2012 letter from MoODT.
An acceptable
corrective action plan would also include a City commitment to modifying its
lease with AirEvac at the next available opportunity to include an escalation
provision which would increase AirEvac’s rent at the same rate as the other
airport tenants in order to work towards achieving airport self-sufficiency.
What did the
city do to in response to the May 21st letter? Articles that address this issue cannot be
found in any local news publications that mentioned the contents of this
letter.
“Propaganda
Once
understood how necessary it is for propaganda in be adjusted to the broad mass,
the following rule results:
It is a
mistake to make propaganda many-sided, like scientific instruction, for
instance.
The
receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small,
but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all
effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on
these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want
him to understand by your slogan. As soon as you sacrifice this slogan and try
to be many-sided, the effect will piddle away, for the crowd can neither digest
nor retain the material offered. In this way the result is weakened and in the
end entirely cancelled out.
Thus we see
that propaganda must follow a simple line and correspondingly the basic tactics
must be psychologically sound ...
What, for
example, would we say about a poster that was supposed to advertise a new soap
and that described other soaps as 'good'?
We would
only shake our heads.
Exactly the
same applies to political advertising.
The function
of propaganda is, for example, not to weigh and ponder the rights of different
people, but exclusively to emphasize the one right which it has set out to
argue for. Its task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far
as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic
fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.”
