Default most anti-aviation city in the nation

In our society we honor those who accept personal sacrifice for the
greater good of their peers. Please, consider clearing the field and
allowing the EAA to work for all.

Dan, I don't doubt that you feel "clearing the field" is the appropriate
thing to do, but I disagree with the notion that anyone would honour a
personal sacrifice in this case. While you have likely accused him of more
than the city of Jacksonville has I have yet to see that he has done
anything wrong other than refuse to knuckle under to an oppressive city
council and a bullying neighbour. Even if he loses, I would admire him for
going down swinging, more than taking one on the chin so others might ignore
his plight and go about their business. The core here is that the gentleman
as far as I can see has not injured or inconvenienced any of his neighbours
in this case, but has been subject to harassment and hostility aided by the
city council. I would be seriously considering suing the neighbour and the
council.
