Politicians Love Aviation Pollution!!!

As Bill Sees It (Editorial): Stupid Republicans Use Old Air Force One
Plane
As Debate Backdrop!!! One thing that is comes clear during the debates in
both parties is that they both love aviation expansion. As for
Republicans,
the stupidity exhibited by their party's president, George Bush, has
carried
over to those who want his job. These candidates obviously don't live in a
FAA noise pollution hell with planes going over one-a-minute during the
day
and all night long. However many Americans do and I am sure the symbolism
of
the debate background wasn't lost on them. It looks more and more like a
democrat victory this fall, whether its Hillary or Barack. So I guess no
Republicans are ever going to get to ride on Air Force One, at least not
as
president. Not that the Democrats care any more about the quality of life
and health of Americans; they are just smart enough to shove their
uncaring
in our faces.
New York's Governor Lauds Stewart Air****t As An "Enormous Economic
"Engine"
For Region!!! Somebody should ask the Governor Spitzer if he would like to
live under the flight path of this enormous economic engine(s). Of course
he
wouldn't. Like most politicians he lives in an area that is carefully
protected from plane noise. If a politician gets to be president, he gets
a
automatic "no-fly" zone wherever he goes. When he leaves office he gets
the
no-fly zone over wherever he lives!!! Maybe New York's Governor Spitzer is
trying to get no-zones for governors like he tried to get driver's
licenses
for illegal aliens.

Connecticut: Community To Vote On Whether To Join Fight Against Airspace
Redesign: Voters will decide next Wednesday whether Ridgefield will join
the
area fight against a plan to reroute New York air****t traffic overhead. If
voters approve spending $70,000 to join the Alliance for Sensible Airspace
Planning, Ridgefield will join more than a dozen Fairfield County towns in
the effort to change the Federal Aviation Authority's proposed airspace
redesign. The aviation agency has already approved the redesign, but not
yet
adopted it. First Selectman Rudy Marconi said he hopes voters at the town
meeting will approve the cost of joining the battle. "It's for legal
representation, lobbying and a grass-roots effort," he said. "If we don't
have a seat at the table, we have no right to complain later."
The Board of Selectmen and the Board of Finance have already voted to
approve the money for Ridgefield to join the airspace alliance, but the
appropriation must also be approved by voters at a town meeting. The
selectmen will hold a public hearing on the matter immediately before the
town meeting vote. The hearing is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. on
Wednesday, Feb. 6, in the lower level conference room of town hall.

New York Governor Says Stewart Air****t Expansion Is An "Economic Engine
For
The Region:" Poughkeepsie - Governor Eliot Spitzer Wednesday had a message
about the future of the Hudson Valley's economy - watch out for Stewart
Air****t. Speaking to the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce in
Poughkeepsie, Spitzer said the Newburgh air****t is going to put the region
on the map. "Stewart Air****t will be an enormous economic engine for the
Hudson Valley. It will transform the capacity of businesses to get here.
It
will be a destination," he said. "Sometimes people get a bit worried that
it
might become the fourth major air****t after Newark, LaGuardia and Kennedy,
that rubs some people the wrong way, but let me tell you it is going to be
an enormous economic engine." Officials of the ****t Authority of New York
and New Jersey, who took over operations of the air****t in November, have
consistently said it would not be developed as a fourth jet****t. But,
Wednesday, the governor appeared not to rule that out.

Germany: Berliners Love Their Air****t??? Berlin is to hold a referendum on
whether the Tempelhof Air****t, located within the city, should be closed.
"No other European city could hold such a plebiscite," Jutta Kramm says.
"If
you asked Parisians, Londoners or Romans if they'd like an air****t smack
in
the middle of town, they'd say 'No thanks.' But Berliners are different.
They hold a referendum on noise and dirt in the city centre, and huge
financial loss. After all, that's what they would get with the continued
usage of Tempelhof Air****t. ... But Berlin is not like any other large
city.
It was the capital of the Cold War, a city on the front lines, and an
island. No one took things for granted. You had to take a stand: For
America
and its way of life, or against. For Socialism and the Party, or against.
That's the only way to explain why East Berliners are so upset by the
razing
of the Palace of the Republic; and it also explains why many West
Berliners
cling to their Airlift air****t."
