Airport

Editor, Times-Union:

Thanks, Gary, you have done it again, stirring the pot (News Views 11/13).

Let's get one thing straight! No one is against the airport. It's a point that people need to get to whatever they do (big list). I don't think acronyms are the answer.

Warsaw has already had some bad traffic decisions. The part about three miles was very shortsighted. Let's think it's only 8,000? Vehicles times three miles times two times five times 40 (yes, some people only work part time) times $3 a gallon for gas. Just a bit of inconvenience!

Oh, and the safety issue. Have you ever went on CR 175E when the weather is bad and planes have to be diverted? If not (go for a drive slowly) or sit at the train tracks on CR 350N. Your boss will understand if your late.

Let's not forget the acronyms (DAM) don't affect me. Your words! For BANANAS, let's say PEACHES (People Entitled A Constructive Helpful Ethical Solution).

I do appreciate all the letters. Just asking for the best decision. And money, I don't think this is the issue. Airport property worth $$$, lower power lines $$$. Hey, how about selling some to Meijer's! Oops, don't remember what your say was on that one.
