The airport is owned by the Metropolitan Airport Commission, not the City, so if the Mayor wants to find businesses that want to donate money to the MAC he surely can. I would guess what would be more of a concern was to read in the newspaper that there were 27 callers this year complaining about airport noise with the airport as it is. I would guess that if the money is found to build the dike you will see more of an effort from the airport neighbors to close the thing down. Most major cities (like Chicago) have gotten rid of their downtown commuter airports as a waist of valuable land. Only makes sense that the Ppress would be advocating a 1930's solution to the problems of 2005.
