Default Banning mogas at the airport...

Any tax that is not legally justified and properly enacted
should be protested on "principle." The airport use taxes
collected on airline passengers was intended to be spent on
ATC, runways, ramps and other infrastructure. A lot of it
was spent on new airline terminals, including nice statues
and art work.
