Jay,

Follow the money. Someone is going to make a lot of money from the sale of the
airport and some people on the city council (not the city) are going to profit
from it.

When Austin was looking for a new airport location the mayor was telling his
buds where to buy land. When the city announced where they were going to build
the new airport (the area is what we call black clay, not a good place for an
airport) a lot of businesses and land owners got screwed as no one would do new
business with them or buy their land. Guess what? Half way through this mess the
USAF decided to close Bergstrom AFB. The city turned it into the new airport
(BTW without approval of the voters). The people who were screwed before are
still trying to recover. At least the mayor's buds got screwed.
