Carlos,

Your argument is even worse, that airport does very little in terms of contributing to the local economy, in fact it would have been better to have a $25 million airport and invest the other $175 million in better endeavors. The author mentions 20 passengers a day- that is an average over the course of a year so if you consider your point of increased travel through the airport in holidays then the adjusted average for "normal" days would be much less- If they had enough passengers then taxpayers wouldn't have to fork over $100 for every ticket to help cover costs. Business 101- anything that loses money and is a bad model should be shut down. Murtha is just another corrupt politician who has funded a monument to himself with taxpayer money and there is no fiscal way to justify this negligent use of MY taxes
