*By Kal Davis Santa Monica*

As a resident here in Santa Monica, I’m sick of the red tape and loopholes that the FAA and city of Santa Monica have used to continue to abuse the residents that live here.

The airport was not designed for jets. Toxic fumes from the jets is killing us. The loud take-offs and landings wake up my baby! There’s a tenfold increase in traffic! We no longer want these jets here! If (city officials and the FAA) can’t put a limit on this problem, then close the airport. That seems to be our only way to stop these ridiculous runway Band-Aids.

Listen to the people — we do not want the jets! Stop the red tape and BS.
