Editor, Times-Union:

I started this letter a week ago but held off on sending it in. Now that I read the articles about this everyday pro and con mostly if not all against closing the road.

What will be next after they close the so called airport road, what will be next, the closing of 250N. I agree with many letters in opposition to the closing of the road, for example the Mr. Tony Miller letter and all the others that have all had factual points. Where is WikiLeaks when you need him to expose those few rich (fat cats) spreading there money around to influence the closing of the road. As I stated at the start of my letter Dane Miller will not be happy until the airport road is closed and next 250N will be next buying up all the property around Biomet so he can fly his doctors and cohorts right in the back door of his business. One of the letters the other day by Mr. Beery had a lot of good points.

But no one has reported the facts of the pilots that fly the planes in and out, their opinions are being suppressed as from what I've heard they do not see a problem at all with the airport just as it is. The mayor, the commissioner and town board members who are behind the closing of the road and are for the purchase of the old national bank building are making a mistake. There self-serving agendas with a couple of board members not even have enough respect to show up to vote one way or the other. And what expertise does the airport manager have when he voices his opinions, what degree does he have in engineering or city planning. Once again, it's the few rich and arrogant people spreading their money around to influence those that are on board with this. So please remember when it comes election time to express our opinions with our discussion on how this was ram down our throats.

Let's vote everybody out of office that had a hand in this only then will we get the attention we deserve. And last those responsible for all these bad ideas think that by election time comes around we the people that are concerned about how a few can oppose the wishes and concerns of all that have opposed this have the lack of a better choice of words or phrase "have been swept under the rug" will forget about this I don't think so and hope that all that agree, let us not forget this terrible plan that once again have only a few people less than you can count on your hand will benefit from this so called needed improvements. What a joke this has turned out to be.
