It is the "Progressives" and the Hispano-Socialists, egged on by the
developers, who are putting the pressure on RHV. When I lived in Silicon
Valley, the local Hispano-Socialists made no bones about playing the
race card against the "rich people from the West Valley" who used RHV.

FAA has already told the County that they cannot simply pay back the
ADAP money to the Feds -- since the FAA paid for the acquisition of the
property, the FAA would get the proceeds from the sale of it if the
airport were to close. That puts a damper on any thoughts of windfall
profits to the County.

Amazing, Cheney is giving away $65 Billion in Gulf oil/gas to
ExxMobBpShell without
even collecting the 12.5 percent royalties (NyTimes). Yet the FAA wants
all the PROFITS from
their original acquisition funding.

RHV redev. would generate mega-millions in future local, state, fed
taxes. Us boomers
like the temperate climate and nearby Sierra attractions. Gotta fix
that ground shaking issue..JG
