“THE AIRPORT IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT danger to the community, both by the risks to the homeowners from a possible aircraft crash to the toxic fumes generated by idling aircraft on the runways. Considering the airport is also illegal with the city and the FAA combining in running of an illegal operation, it should be closed. As the airport is a prime asset of the City Council that is being wasted. If the City Council were a board of directors, they would all be fired.”
