The only trivialization here is of the citizens of St. Paul
The last writer makes a strong point:
>>> It acts as a reliever airport to MSP by diverting general aviation
away from MSP. That means a
smaller MSP, with fewer jets and other planes stacking up and waiting to
land. It means quieter skys in the air over MSP <<<
As we have said all along, opposition to this corporate welfare program
is not just financial.
Guess how quieter skies over MSP is accomplished...
Guess whose skies will now be busier and noisier...
As it gets bigger and busier, it also becomes a menace to public safety.
If we really wanted economic growth we'd bulldoze it and have our Port
Authority build an industrial park - millions in unsubsidized tax
revenues, thousands of $20/hour jobs...
No, this really is about politicians selling themselves and their
capital city. Turn on the red light.
