I see that "jgrove" omitted the fact that CA airports study showed
$110K/year economic benefit to airport areas per based aircraft (old
data, so we should assume more). He doesn't mention the amount of his
taxes going toward supporting street bums (sorry -- "homeless") or
bicycle lanes or other "feel good" tax-supported programs.

There are NO entries on my RESIDENTAL PROPERTY TAX BILL for:
-DuPage Bum Authority (many churches provide shelter services thru
PADS)
-Hoover Dam
-Yosemite NP
-Waikiki Beach
-New Jersey Turnpike
-Golden Gate Bridge

I cannot speak to the others, but the NJ Turnpike gets funding from the
state's tax on fuel. It also has received federal monies in the past.

However, I see that our economic illiterate is still unable to address the
issue of monies brought into an area by a GA airport.
