All grants for GA airports are "pork."

If one looks up on faa.gov at who gets AIP funds, air carrier
fields gets the bulk. Then look at what GA fields get other than
mickey mouse grants, often safety items. The bigger GA fields
are relievers, to help keep corporate aviation out of big
airports, to prevent airline delays. So it's airlines and the
passengers who benefit too. In fact, in our town, the Port
Authority owns the big field and one reliever. They further
extract the reliever's operating deficit, like $1.5 million bucks
annually, out of the pockets of the air carriers, to keep the
bizjets out of their hair and not soak the city taxpayers to
subsidize bizjets.
