You DEFINITELY don't want that. Our Ocean City Council micro-manages
every aspect of our airport. At a recent budget meeting, the Council sat
around trying to figure out how much to raise the hangar rents. There
were 3 different levels of rates, depending on how new and well equipped
the hangar was. They decided this was too difficult and have decided to
make them all the same price. As a result, my $161 hangar is going up to
$225. A 40% increase. Of course, the people who were paying $188 are
also going up to $225. A 20% increase. City Councils should not get
involved with running an airport. They're idiots.
